Fury about anti-Muslim film spreads to Jerusalem

PanARMENIAN.Net - Fury about a film that insults the Prophet Mohammad tore across the Middle East on Friday, Sept 14, including the Palestinian territories, with protesters attacking U.S. embassies and burning American flags as the Pentagon rushed to bolster security at its missions, according to forward.com.

Protests erupted for the first time in Gaza and the West Bank. In East Jerusalem, Israeli troops battled angry demonstrators after Friday prayers.

The obscure California-made film triggered an attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya’s city of Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans on Tuesday, the anniversary of the Sept 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks on the United States.
