    Default US Embassies in Cairo and Benghazi Attacked: 4 Dead

    Protesters in Cairo, Egypt scale U.S. Embassy walls, replace American flags with black flags with Islamic emblems.
    Seems protestors have stormed the US embassy in Cairo.. no further details yet is it is still breaking news.
    There seem to have been thousands at the embassy protesting an anti-Islamic film (dont know which one though)

    Oh **** I hope not a Tehran 2.0. And on 9/11 too. So I love how none of the news sources nor the interviewed can name what movie.

    When I posted it it was on the CNN frontpage as well as the German n-tv frontpage as breaking news...

    Seems to be not that dramatic... it has been moved to a regular article - no more breaking news ^^
    http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/11/world/meast/egpyt-us-embassy-protests/index.html?hpt=hp_t3


    The incident prompted U.S. security guards to fire off a volley of warning shots as a large crowd gathered outside, apparently upset about the production of a Dutch film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed, said CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene.

    An embassy operator told CNN that the facility had been cleared of diplomatic personnel earlier Tuesday, ahead of the apparent threat, while Egyptian riot police were called to help secure the embassy walls.

    Cairo (CNN)
    -- Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and hauled down its American flags, replacing them with black flags with Islamic emblems.

    The incident prompted U.S. security guards to fire off a volley of warning shots as a large crowd gathered outside, apparently upset about the production of a Dutch film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed, said CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene.

    That today is the anniversary of 9/11 is not a coincidence.

    Start worrying when MB Egypt starts acting as an independent entity with all that military muscle and potential they have. If I were Israeli I'd be worried. This is not gonna end well long term
