I'm not sure why this isn't posted yet or if I'm missing it, but here is an article of the beginnings of what has spurred Violent protests in Tunisia, Yemen, Sudan and elsewhere as crowds target US, UK and German embassies.

I don't even know what news article to link here you can pick from.

The Latest.



Demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassies in Yemen and Egypt on Thursday in protest at a film they consider blasphemous to Islam, and American warships headed towards Libya after the U.S. ambassador there was killed in related violence this week.

...Demonstrations spread further on Thursday, with U.S. embassies again the targets of popular anger among Muslims questioning why the United States has failed to take action against the makers of the film.

Hundreds of Yemenis broke through the main gate of the heavily fortified U.S. embassy compound in the capital Sanaa, shouting "We sacrifice ourselves for you, Messenger of God." They smashed windows of security offices outside the embassy and burned cars.



I understand the German Embassy was also stormed and tourched, the flag taken down and radical's flag flown, but Can't find a good news article. It was on video at Al Jezeera.
