A large fire could be seen burning inside the compound. Police fired teargas at the crowds, who broke windows and set fire to trees.
In the Sudanese capital Khartoum, some 5,000 protesters attacked the British and German embassies.

Is BO golfing or fundraising today?
It looks to me like it is parked by sniveling American weakness and an impotent president.
That is AMERICAN territory! SHOOT THEM DEAD!!!
WTF part of AMERICAN TERRITORY do we not understand here???
I wouldn't trust the State Department to handle the security for a one car funeral much less for middle east embassies.
Now that the ‘it’s about a film’ canard is being debunked, it’s more accurate to say:
“In the latest round of violence sparked by other Muslim protesters, Muslim protestors attacked ...” &c.
I am worried that this is the beginning of a planned Muslim War on the west, while Obambi is still in office
Post of the minute/hour/day and week!
BINGO!
Better that it starts while Obambi is still in office. They can't blame bush. They tried the One, and it failed. It's time for the Crusade.
Thanks Obama/Carter. Real good job your doing there in the middle east with your friends. Oh, and good idea not to let the death of our ambassador and other Americans interrupt your fundraising schedule. Also, be sure and tell Hillary what a good job she did too, I mean, with the disarming the marines and all. Really good job you two.
Napalm the whole lot, get a really big pita bread, and call it a “Grilled Tunis Sandwich”.
It’s not about fearing us. Captain Kenya wants this now as a distraction from their bungling.
This is the most depraved political calculation I have ever seen. Absolutely Stalinesque. A whole lot of people are going to die now in an attempt to get this POS reelected.

[Updated at 10:25 a.m. ET] A U.S. Marine Corps security team is being sent to help protect U.S. diplomatic installations in Yemen, including the Embassy in Saana, a senior U.S. official said, according to CNN's Barbara Starr.
Earlier today, Yemeni police opened fire to stop protesters from reaching the U.S. Embassy in Saana, witnesses said (see 7:31 a.m. entry).
The protection team is similar to the team of 50 Marines that was sent earlier this this week to Tripoli, Libya, in the wake of the attack in Benghazi.
