Protests over anti-Islam film across the Middle East and North Africa

US missions are on high alert across the Muslim world as anger grows over a film made in the US that mocks Islam.

More anti-American demonstrations are expected after prayers on Friday. In the Egyptian capital, Cairo, police have fired tear gas at about 500 protesters near the US embassy.

On Tuesday, protesters stormed the US consulate in Benghazi in Libya, killing the ambassador and three others.

Since then unrest has spread across the Middle East and North Africa.

The US president discusses America's relationship with Egypt after mobs of demonstrators angry over a film they considered blasphemous to Islam attacked the US embassy in Cairo. Speaking to Telemundo, a Spanish-language network, Barack Obama says the new democratically-elected Egyptian government is 'trying to find its way'.

Earlier US President Barack Obama has promised to do whatever is necessary to protect US citizens abroad and has urged foreign governments to guarantee their security.
