Egypt Protesters Scale U.S. Embassy Wall

At the Los Angeles Times, "Egypt protesters pull down US flag at embassy in Cairo."

CAIRO — More than a dozen Egyptian protesters, angry over what they called an anti-Muslim video, scaled the outer wall of the fortress-like U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday and took down an American flag.

In its place, they raised a black flag that read: "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet" before Egyptian security forces sought to tame the crowd.
