Protesters climb U.S. Embassy walls in Cairo
[Updated at 5:38 p.m. ET] Angry protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and tore down the American flag, apparently in protest of a film thought to insult the Prophet Mohammed.
A volley of warning shots were fired as a large crowd gathered around the compound, said CNN producer Mohammed Fahmy, who was on the scene, though it is not clear who fired the shots.
Egyptian police and army personnel have since formed defensive lines around the facility in an effort to prevent the demonstrators from advancing farther, but not before the protesters affixed their standard atop the embassy.
The black flag, which hangs atop a ladder inside the compound, is adorned with white characters that read, "There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger," an emblem often used in al Qaeda propaganda.
It was unclear which film upset the protesters.
FULL STORY
And we are giving 1.5 billion in foreign aid to this country why? 4th biggest recipient of US foreign aid.
Since he outed himself, my guess is won't see Andy Cooper reporting from any of the Muslim countries he is so proud of.
Lots of Bitter conservatives on here, evidently unhappy that the Muslims are acting exactly like them. This is why you will never win another election in your current form. Deal with it.
In what fashion do conservatives comport themselves in this manner? Cite date, time and place. Otherwise shut your stupid mouth!
@obozosucks
They say they hate americans and what us out of their countries. Conservatives say they hate muslims and want them gone from the world. Pretty similar. Conservatives love to spend money on war, and they are chomping at the bit to go to Iran.
Classic liberal hypocritical liar. THIS is EXACTLY how filthy Occupy Takers behave. Not ONCE have you ever seen conservatives behave in this way.
Tell me, why do you libs always lie, cheat and steal your way through life? Is it a genetic thing?
What's the name of the movie?
Why aren't these invaders of sovereign US soil being shot dead? What are the consequences to their actions? This is the US in a state of impotence.
These are Obama's people. Muslims. Notice WE even appologized to the protestors
You're right, we should start a war with everyone! Fight fire with fire, right? Jesus, no wonder Conservatives are viewed so negatively in this country.
Bubba – what's this got to do with Conservatives? ignorance=liberalism
The Obama "Arab Spring" smells just like Jihad to me.
I think its funny. Lol they tagged a flag and totally claimed our embassy with it. They won at capture the flag. For revenge we should attack their embassy here and write "freedom of religion, express yourself" on their flag.
More and more like Jimmy Carter every day. The parallels are more striking every day. Now if Barry can just have a bunny attack him....
Carter was inept, Obama knows what he is doing
Oh it's probaly nothing, eh Mr President
Another great Obama foreign policy blunder!!!
Why doesn't the article mention our State Dept and the embassy appologized to the protesters. This is just life under the closet Muslim – Obama.
The smartest man in the room has no answers.
Have any women been assaulted yet?
Don't be silly, only the Republicans are waging a war on women..... right Jennifer Flowers? Why does Barry Soertoro list Islam as his religion on his Occidental College admission? Also says he is Indonesian? So what kind of joke has been perpetrated onto the American People???? why is the media such cowards as too not vet this guy??? WHo the hell is steering the ship?
Fore!!!!! Did I do that?
So Obamas muslim buddies don't like the United States? News to everyone but Obama.
Do anything to aviod another Iran hostage. If they do, bomb 'em to hell. Kick their people out of the US and no more aid. That should have been a given a long time ago. These people hate us and always will.
We're reliving Jimmy the Genius Carter all over again. It's sad to know we didn't learn our lesson the first time around.
