Might as well have a Yemen thread too.
A wildfire of protest in the Muslim world over an American film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad spread today to Yemen, where hundreds of angry demonstrators penetrated the outer walls of the U.S. Embassy and torched the U.S. flag.
The storming of the embassy in Sanaa is the third attack on U.S. diplomatic missions, which began Tuesday night in Cairo and then took a deadly turn in Benghazi, Libya, where the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in an assault on the consulate.
In Yemen, protesters set fire to cars in the embassy compound and burned the U.S. flag, replacing it with a black banner bearing Islam's declaration of faith — "There is no God but Allah."
