Good morning everyone today is Thursday September 13 2012 we began this morning with the Fox News alert even more.

Violent protests spreading throughout the Middle East this morning this time Yemen.

And again in Egypt within the past hour hundreds of demonstrators stormed the US embassy in Yemen the Associated Press reported they were chanting death to America.

And they ripped down the American flag and set on fire.

Continue in Egypt at this hour yes continuing in Egypt here's a live look at the streets of Cairo right now these protests we understand -- being led by the Muslim Brotherhood.

Where protesters are still filling the streets.

Police have been using tear gas to disperse.

Thousands of protesters let's see if they do better today than they did previously.

Meantime riots are also breaking out in Tunisia where dozens of protesters reportedly burned American flags outside the US and -- bears you can see right there has been speculation that these clashes -- in response to an American produces anti Muslim anti Mohammed movie.

They say that basically the situation seems to be under control there there's a couple thousand people outside of the embassy there's about a thousand.

Yemeni security forces trying to keep things under control.

I didn't do that embassy complex what you got as a security house in front of the main building apparently some of the demonstrators got into that security building.

No shots were fired and no injuries were incurred but still a fluid situation there then as you noted shifting over to Cairo in front of the US embassy there.

The best of our knowledge of the four and bodies of the American diplomats are now.

At a US military hospital in Germany they have been evacuated all American staff is -- back we've -- -- going in the other direction though we believe there's about fifty Marines from a rapid response anti terror team that are on the ground now.

In a Libya there are there is one not the US navy destroyer off the coast another coming there too as well as FBI agents as well as we of understated as well I stepped up drone surveillance operation -- now we're talking about a terror manhunt and and Libya -- because it is believed that in addition to the motivate her of that that -- made in the US.

It could have been a complex organized organized operation to take out US officials within al-Qaeda link.

Looked at very hard -- -- that we have seen as seen this week coming from Ayman Al zawahiri the al-Qaeda number one who was citing that they Qaeda number two was killed by the US and called on people to take action that might have been motivate her for al-Qaeda elements in Libya a complex and fluid situation guys back to act and very expensive -- pal pat thanks so much.
