Yemeni protesters storm US embassy – Telegraph

Yemeni protesters storm US embassy – Telegraph.

After the death of the US Ambassador in Libya and protests in Egypt, anti-American protests have now spread to Yemen, with the US embassy being stormed.

Yemen is already a hot bed of anti-American feeling, with al-Qaeda active in the country. Many think Yemen could become the next Afghanistan.

The protests were sparked by a short clip of a movie, “Innocence of Muslims” on YouTube, made by an American Jew, Sam Bacile, where he depicted Muhammed as a pedophile and womaniser.

It has also emerged that the Libyan attack was planned in advance to be carried out on 9/11, the anniversary of the al-Qaeda attack on the Twin Towers in New York.

As the violence continues in the region, it has called into question whether America should be giving aid to countries who fail to deal with terrorism, and cannot protect American citizens within their own embassies.
