One witness said demonstrators hoisted a black Islamic flag saying in white letters "there is no God but God and Mohammed is his prophet". They smashed windows, cameras and furniture in the building and then started a fire. Police had earlier tried to disperse protesters who had surrounded the German and nearby British embassy by firing volleys of teargas but no officers could be seen at the front gate after the storming.
"The embassy staff are safe at the moment," German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in a statement on Friday.
Cairo's protests spread out to the streets beyond the immediate vicinity of the US embassy. Police fired weapons in the air and tried to disperse the crowd with tear gas. Earlier a group of young males opened a new front of clashes with the police force near Cairo's Qasr al-Nil bridge.
Yemeni security forces blocked streets surrounding the US embassy in Sanaa, firing water cannons and warning shots to disperse crowds protesting against a US-made film deemed blasphemous to Islam. Demonstrators stormed the heavily fortified compound and clashed with police on Thursday. At least one person died and 15 were injured at Thursday's demonstration.
The Algerian website El Shorouq reported that in the last 48 hours the men who attacked the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya on Tuesday escaped to Turkey and Egypt, heading for Syria. The suspects, aware that US marines and the FBI are hunting for them, made a rapid departure, El Shorouq said.
Security alert
Thousands of angry Kashmiri Muslims in Srinagar, India burned US flags and called US President Barack Obama a `'terrorist," while the top government cleric reportedly demanded Americans leave the volatile Indian-controlled region immediately. At least 15,000 people took part in more than two dozen protests across Kashmir, chanting `'Down with America" and `'Down with Israel" in some of the largest anti-American demonstrations against the film in Asia.
Hundreds also gathered at a mosque in Yemen's capital near the US embassy after Friday prayers, carrying placards and shouting slogans against the film, which depicts the Prophet Mohammad in terms some Muslims consider to be crude and insulting.
"Deport the US ambassador! Death to America, death to Israel," one sign read. Some burned the American flag while others called for the expulsion of the US envoy in Sanaa.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denounced the "disgusting and reprehensible" video that has sparked such outrage, but she added that the violence over its appearance on the internet was not justified.
"The United States government had absolutely nothing to do with this video," she said. "We absolutely reject its content and message. To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible.
For many Muslims, any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous and caricatures or other characterisations have in the past provoked violent protests across the Muslim world.
Embassy shutdown
Local media in Yemen reported that a group of US marines had flown into Sanaa's international airport on Thursday to bolster embassy security. The embassy told US citizens in Yemen that they expected more protests and would close consular services on Saturday. The embassy is always closed on Thursdays and Fridays, which are not working days in Yemen.
The protests follow Tuesday night's storming of the US Consulate and a safe house in Benghazi, Libya, in which the US ambassador and three other Americans were killed. President Barack Obama said the perpetrators would be tracked down and ordered two destroyers to head to the Libyan coast.
Protesters blamed the US for the film, posted on YouTube under several titles, including "Innocence of Muslims". Washington has condemned the film.
Demonstrations have also taken place in Doha, Tunis, Gaza City, Tehran, Malaysia, India and beyond.
