US Embassies in Yemen, Egypt Attacked

Protesters attacked the US embassies in Yemen and Egypt on Thursday, Sept. 13 in protest at a film they consider blasphemous to Islam. The demonstrators express their anger at the YouTube clip, which they said disrespected the prophet.

Hundreds of Yemeni demonstrators broke through the main gate of the heavily fortified compound in eastern Sanaa, shouting "We sacrifice ourselves for you, Messenger of God."

In Egypt, protesters hurled stones at a police cordon around the US embassy in central Cairo after climbing into the embassy and tearing down the American flag.
