Continue even today violent confrontations and demonstrations in much of the Arab world and elsewhere, especially against Us embassies, for American film deemed blasphemous and offensive to the Prophet Mohammed.
In Tunisia at least three people died and 28 were injured in the attack by demonstrators at the u.s. Embassy in Tunis, as reported by State television. A Reuters reporter saw police open fire to try to quell the rebellion. In the clashes was also torched the American school in Tunis, now closed.
In Sudan, at least one person died during a demonstration outside the US Embassy while the police launched tear gas to disperse about 5,000 protesters who have surrounded the German Embassy and the nearby British Mission in Khartoum.
In Lebanon, a protester was killed and two others wounded in clashes with security forces in the city of Tripoli, stemming from the protests against the film and against the visit of Pope Benedict XVI in the country. A security source said that the man was killed when the protesters tried to make breaking into a government building. Also wounded 12 members of the security forces.
In Egypt there were throwing stones at the police who, in Cairo, has blocked access to the US Embassy, already targeted in recent days. Here agents in riot gear threw tear gas and responded to throwing stones.
Also in Yemen-where yesterday at least one person died and 15 others were injured in a demonstration in Sanaa-security forces have blocked the roads around the US Embassy in the capital, and to strengthen the security the Pentagon sent the marines.
In Nigeria, where Islamic fundamentalist group Boko Haram killed this year hundreds of people in a riot, the police fired in Jos to disperse Muslims took to the streets to protest the film about Muhammad. The Government has preallertato the police and enhanced security for foreign missions.
Today's protests also spread to Malaysia-Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Iraq--followed last Tuesday's attack against the U.s. Consulate in Benghazi, which resulted in the death of the American Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans.
For the murders, Libyan authorities yesterday said they had arrested four people, while the Usa has sent two destroyers in the Libyan coasts and a team of specialist marine, in addition to monitoring missions with drones (unmanned aircraft), departing from the base of Sigonella, Sicily.
