Egyptian riot police secure the walls of the U.S. embassy during an anti U.S. demonstration amid widespread anger across the Muslim world about a film ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad. The graffiti on the wall reads, "anyone but God's Prophet."
The U.S. Embassy in Malaysia advised on its website that demonstrations were possible there and that American should use caution. An embassy official there said it was policy not to discuss security measures.
Higher security was evident around the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka, including searches of vehicles nearby. Police blocked about 400 marchers belonging to two Islamic groups who were proceeding through streets near the Baitul Mokarram mosque, several kilometers from the U.S. Embassy in the capital.
