Demonstrations continue to spread over anti-Islam film

(Vatican Radio) Hundreds of Yemeni demonstrators, angered over a film mocking Islam, have stormed the grounds of the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, continuing a wave of anti-American protests sweeping the region. The mob torched some diplomatic vehicles as security guards used water cannons and warning shots in a bid to drive them out of the heavily fortified compound. A number of people were reportedly injured.

The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three of his staff were killed Tuesday after suspected Islamist militants stormed the American consulate in Benghazi during similar demonstrations. The FBI is working with the Libyan government on finding the perpetrators. Libya's interim prime minister, Abdul-Rahim al-Keeb, said: "We are determined both the congress and the government to take action on those guys who have murdered innocent people and did wound some others."

Meanwhile, protests continued outside the U.S. Embassy in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, as police used tear gas against a crowd of about 200 youths.

In the Iranian capital of Tehran, up to 500 people protested over the issue chanting "Death to America!" and death to the movie's director.
