(13 Sep 2012) Further unrest broke out near the American Embassy in Cairo early on Thursday morning, as the fallout from a film ridiculing Islam's prophet raged on.
Dozens of police officers were deployed, as protesters chanted in the streets and fires burned.
Some demonstrators were engulfed in tear gas.
"All of the tear gas smoke entered my eyes. Here is the tear gas bomb, still hot, which hit my eye," said one man.
"Innocence of Muslims," the film that mocked Islam's Prophet Muhammad, was produced in the US and excerpted on YouTube.
On Wednesday, some 200 demonstrators took part in protests in the Egyptian capital.
They rallied into the night chanting "leave Egypt" as they gathered outside the walls of the US Embassy compound.
There was however no repeat of the previous day's events when angry crowds climbed the walls of the complex and tore down an American flag, which they replaced briefly with a black, Islamist flag.
Several demonstrators have demanded a US apology for the offending film and the prosecution of those behind it.
On Tuesday, US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were killed when a a mob enraged by the video launched an attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Officials were also investigating whether the rampage was a backlash to the anti-Islamic video or a plot to coincide with the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
President Barack Obama strongly condemned the violence.
He has vowed to bring the killers to justice and tightened security at diplomatic posts around the world.
The US despatched an elite group of Marines to Tripoli on Wednesday.
