(CNN) -- A wave of anger and outrage sparked by an obscure film clip spread to more Muslim countries Thursday as protesters massed outside U.S. embassies in Africa and the Middle East.
The fallout comes after Tuesday's attack at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which claimed the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other consular officials. The deadly security breach happened on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks and heightened tensions across the region.
How the Benghazi attack unfolded
The violence and protests stem from a 14-minute film trailer that mocks Islam's prophet. It was posted in July on YouTube, but got more notice after Egyptian television recently aired segments and anti-Islam activists promoted it online.
In response to Tuesday's attack in Libya, the United States deployed Marines to secure its interests in the region, as well as warships and drones to hunt for those responsible for killing the four American diplomatic staffers. Here's the latest on the violence, the response, and the implications:
Protests continue
Since Tuesday's deadly assault in Libya -- and a protest the same day at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo -- demonstrations, both small and large, have been reported in Israel, Gaza, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco, Iraq, Iran and among Muslims in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir. Security has been heightened at U.S. diplomatic missions worldwide.
While some protesters say they have not seen any of the online film, they were incensed by reports of its depiction of the Prophet Mohammed.
American tourists cautious, but undeterred
One of the largest protests Thursday took place outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. One photo from Cairo shows a chalk drawing on the ground of a Jewish star with the words in Arabic, "Remember your black day 11 September." Demonstrators threw rocks and Molotov cocktails as police tried to disperse them by firing tear gas canisters.
At least 13 protesters and six police officers were injured, Egyptian government officials said.
The instability in Egypt is a primary concern to U.S. President Barack Obama, who warned in an interview with Telemundo that it would be "a real big problem" if the leaders in Egypt failed to protect American interests there.
Another massive protest took place Thursday in Sanaa, Yemen, where demonstrators breached a security wall at the U.S. Embassy as several thousand people protested outside.
Here are details about other protests:
-- In Tunisia and Morocco, protesters massed in front of U.S. embassies.
-- In Gaza City, Palestinians demonstrated outside U.N. headquarters, and about 200 Palestinians protested the film at the Palestine Legislative Council building. In one instance, Palestinian men burned a U.S. flag.
-- In Tel Aviv, Israel, about 50 people demonstrated in front of the U.S. Embassy.
-- In Sudan, the United States called on U.S. citizens Wednesday to stay away from the embassy in Khartoum, where protests were going on.
-- Iranians protested near the Swiss Embassy in Tehran on Thursday. Switzerland represents U.S. interests in Iran, since Washington and Tehran do not have diplomatic relations. Up to 500 people chanted "Death to America!" and called for death to the director of the movie, which was made in the United States. The demonstration ended peacefully after two hours.
Who gives a rats ass?
I wonder if the perps used Microsoft Project to plan the protests, and followed the same order as they did for the Arab Spring. It would be interest to look at a timeline for both—bet they used the same timeline AND operating procedures.
The 0bama regime triggered this mess on purpose.
Who gives a rat’s ass?
I do. There are plenty of Middle Easterners and foreign nationals in the US now.
I urge everyone to pay close attention to his/her surroundings.
Or, religion of abuse of women, murder, maiming, destruction, intimidation, arson, beheading, bombing, and mayhem?
All I want/need to know about the religion of peace or our Muslim in Chief, I learned from their behavior on September 11, 2001 and the years that followed.
I care nothing for their sand box countries. If they pull crap here then yes I care a lot!
That would be correct.
Too many coincidences here. And a massive teachers strike in Chicago to boot. It might be wise for people to take a serious look at prepping. NOW.
with them sitting there sipping coffee and watching at the emir’s palace, no doubt....and able to phone things in/get phone calls live.
Three little letters: F A E
When a people abandon reason, violence is always the result. Theocracies are by definition anti-reason. Islam is an anti-reason institution. You reap what you sew.
Who would have thought that in just two short years all that hope would change things so badly?
I thought that was what you meant.
Our guys and gals....over there. USMC without live ammo in Libya.
We need to pay attention and communicate to our guys there—given that intel is not coming from the CIC or his suckups. Maybe I mithespelled that last word..... ‘FFFFFF’
It’s a little late in the game, I think.
Unfortunately 9/11 was not enough to wake people up. I am not happy to say this but the facts bear it out...
Until the average American has the violence he sees on TV visited on him personally, it’s just that...a TV sho...AKA not his problem.
And until they have reality ‘tv’ forced upon them,, unitl they lose their toys and have their day to day lives disrupted, they simply will never learn. We have devolved that far.
Results of the apology tour.
I wonder where Huma’s mother (Hillary’s Asst.) is on this violence? I believe that she is a leader in the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.
This is a huge foreign policy debacle and it falls on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Four Americans are dead including an American Ambassador. These deaths are directly attributable to Hillary Clinton’s incompetence. The principles of sound leadership and management demand that incompetence be corrected. The only possible correction for incompetence that results in deaths is dismissal. Hillary Clinton must go! To keep her on would be to invite her to display more of her incompetence and to have others do shoddy work because she was never corrected. The only possible reason Obama would keep her on is that the Democrats have political plans for her future. I wonder how many Americans must die because of Hillary Clinton’s incompetence before the Democrats, including the media, will see that she needs to go. She is, in fact, making all Democrats look incompetent.
And the rest of what you need to know, you learned on September 11, 2012.
