Angry Protesters attack Western embassies in Tunisia and Sudan

In Khartoum, protesters entered the US compound, while the German and UK embassies were also attacked. In Tunis, a cloud of black smoke has been seen over the US embassy compound and police have fired warning shots.

There were also clashes in Yemen and Egypt. One person in Lebanon has died.

Protests began on Tuesday against the film, which was made in the US.

However, the film - clips of which were dubbed into Arabic and distributed online - has no link to either Germany or the UK.

It depicts the Prophet Muhammad as a womaniser and leader of a group of men who enjoy killing.

However, the film's exact origin and the motivation behind its production remain a mystery.
