Bismillah

US embassy in Yemen stormed in film protest



Protesters angered by an anti-Islam film made in the US mocking the noble Prophet Mohammed (sws). They then stormed the grounds of the American embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa.


Police shot in the air in an attempt to hold back the crowds, but failed to prevent them gaining access to the compound and setting fire to vehicles.


Security forces have now regained control of the compound.


On Tuesday, the US ambassador to Libya was killed in a fire started after the US consulate in Benghazi was stormed.
