Egypt security forces, protesters clash outside US Embassy

None

Security forces fired teargas to disperse stone-throwing demonstrators near the US embassy in Cairo late on Wednesday, some 24 hours after protesters scaled the walls and tore down the flag over a film insulting the Prophet Mohammad. Similar protests in Libya led to an attack that killed the US ambassador to the country and three embassy workers.

 

State news agency MENA said some of those present had been injured, but gave no further details.(Reuters)
