Yemeni killed at US embassy protest

Yemeni police on Thursday shot dead a protester in renewed confrontations outside the US embassy in Sanaa, shortly after ejecting crowds that stormed the mission’s compound, a security official said.

The official said five other protesters were injured when demonstrators, angry over a film insulting Islam, tried to storm the compound again.

Yemeni protesters on Thursday stormed the American embassy complex before being driven out by police, an AFP reporter said, as angry Muslim protests grew over a film mocking Islam.

All protesters who breached the fence of the US mission in Sanaa have been ejected, the correspondent reported, as security forces used water cannon and fired warning shots.

Police also fired warning shots earlier to disperse thousands of protesters as they approached the main gate of the mission.

The attack comes two days after four Americans including the ambassador were killed when a Libyan mob attacked the US consulate in Benghazi, and protesters in Cairo tore down the Stars and Stripes and replaced it with a black Islamic flag.
