"...Yet in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini went on to tell his radio listeners, "It is not beyond guessing that this [the seizure] is the work of criminal American imperialism and international Zionism." Muslim anti-American global demonstrations followed in the Philippines, Turkey, Bangladesh, eastern Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan. Resentment enthused by these rumour on November 21, 1979, the day following the takeover, a mob in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, burned the US Embassy to the ground. The demonstration grew violent as protesters pulled down part of the outer wall and broke into the compound itself. The five-hour siege began as an organised student protest outside the locked gates of the embassy compound. Gunfire broke out, and the marine, who was standing on the roof of the building, was shot. A week later, this resentment swept to the streets of Tripoli, Libya, where a mob attacked and burned the U.S. embassy there on 2 December 1979. The attacks were believed to have been triggered by a radio report from the Iranian leader, Ayatollah Khomeini, saying Americans were behind the occupation of Islam's holiest site, the Great Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, The US State Department has described the broadcast as "irresponsible, outright, knowing lies". ...........--------- http://iranian.com/main/blog/iqbal-latif/seizure-grand-mosque.html
