Police used water cannons and fired warning shots into the air to disburse hundreds of protesters who rallied for a second day at the U.S. Embassy in Yemen’s capital against a film seen as insulting to Islam.
Al Jazeera television reported that four people were killed yesterday when demonstrators tried to storm the embassy in Sana’a as protests against the film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad flared in Egypt and Iran. Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood sought to tone down rallies today, urging all Muslims to temper their response to the movie.
