Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi condemned the attack on
Libya that killed the American ambassador and vowed Thursday to protect
foreign embassies in Cairo, where police were using tear gas to
disperse protesters at the U.S. mission. tolerated
American
missions have been attacked in three Arab nations- Yemen, Egypt and
Libya. The spreading violence comes as outrage grows over an obscure
movie made in the United States called "Innocence of Muslims" that
mocked Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
Speaking during a
visit to the European Union in Brussels, Morsi said he had spoken to
President Barack Obama and condemned "in the clearest terms" the
Tuesday attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed the
ambassador and three other Americans.
He also harshly
criticized the movie, which came to attention in Egypt after its
trailer was dubbed into Arabic and posted on YouTube.
