The wave of protests over a film made in the United States that

mocks

the Prophet Muhammad has spread farther across the Islamic world. James Robbins has the details.

More than a thousand protesters

converged

on the German embassy in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. Some managed to break through the outer wall, then smashed windows and set fire to at least one vehicle. The nearby British mission was also attacked but the perimeter was not breached. Police fired tear gas at crowds in the American embassy. In Tunis, protesters broke into the US embassy compound starting a large fire and the American school nearby was

looted

. In Egypt, the governing Muslim Brotherhood has withdrawn its calls for nation wide protest. But demonstrations continue to spread beyond the Arab world to include India, Malaysia and Indonesia too, the country with the world's largest Muslim population.

President Obama has attended a ceremony to mark the

repatriation

of the remains of the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans killed in an attack on the US consulate. As the coffins arrived in an air force base near Washington, Mr. Obama said that the killers would be found and punished.

We will bring to justice those who took them from us. We will

stand fast

against the violence on our diplomatic missions. We will continue to do everything in our power to protect Americans serving overseas, whether that means increasing security at our diplomatic posts, working with host countries which have an obligation to provide security. And making it clear the justice will come to those who harm Americans.
