[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 1896857, member: 8377"] [SIZE=5][COLOR="#FF0000"]Cairo protesters scale U.S. Embassy wall, remove flag[/COLOR][/SIZE] Egyptian demonstrators climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo today and pulled down the American flag to protest a film they say is insulting to the prophet Mohammad. Update at 2:07 p.m. ET: CNN reports that U.S. security guards fired a volley of warning shots as the crowd gathered outside the embassy walls. CNN adds that the embassy had been expecting a demonstration and cleared all diplomatic personnel earlier from the facility. Original post: The Associated Press reports that embassy officials say there was no staff inside at the time. Reuters reports that protesters tried to raise a black flag carrying the slogan: "There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger." The news agency says about 2,000 protesters have gathered outside the embassy and about 20 have scaled the walls. The AP says the protesters were largely ultra-conservative Islamists.
