    The U.S. Embassy in Yemen says nobody was harmed in Thursday’s assault. “All embassy personnel are safe and accounted for,” spokesman Lou Fintor said.

    President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi also ordered an investigation into the attack. Several hundred protesters stormed the embassy’s compound, brought down the U.S. flag in the courtyard, burned it and replaced it with a black, Islamist banner.

    Hadi avowed to bring the culprits to justice, saying the attack by a “rowdy crowd” was part of a conspiracy to derail Yemen’s close relations with Washington.

    Not one politican person got up and siad the truth. That is challenge the muslims to show this video is a lie by conemning all violent acts. Let the muslims show they are peace loving by action. These protestes validate the film writers point.
