Two killed as Tunisia protest against film spirals into violence
September 14, 2012 | 2:51 pm
TUNIS, Tunisia –- Two protesters were killed Friday after a massive protest outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunis descended into chaos when protesters scaled an embassy wall and set off a huge explosion with a Molotov cocktail.
Tunisian officials condemned the attack Friday night. President Moncef Marzouki called for Tunisians to behave responsibly and respect its diplomatic relations. Marzouki vowed to punish those who broke into the compound.
Protesters blamed Tunisian security forces and the West for the violence. "American and European leaders didn’t apologize for making fun of the prophet," said Rida, a clean-cut 22-year-old university student. "I didn’t want this to become violent, but the fact it got violent was the fault of the police and the secular parties and the American officials. We were only protecting our faith and our religion. We will do anything to defend our faith."
