Algiers: The American embassies in Algeria and Tunisia has warned of more protests Wednesday, following attack on US consulate in Libya and protests outside US embassies in Egypt, Tunisia and Gaza.
Anti-Islam film, Innocence of Muslims, has sparked violence among the Middle-East countries demanding US to ban the film. Afghanistan has also banned Youtube over the film.
In an emergency message, the embassy in Tunis warned Americans to avoid crowded places, saying that even gatherings ‘‘intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence.’’ The embassy in Algiers had similar advice.
The Algiers embassy said unspecified groups were using online social networks to organize demonstrations ‘‘to protest a range of issues’’ there Wednesday. The statement out of Tunis cited ‘‘media reports’’ indicating protests were planned, but said the embassy remained open.
Ambassador Chris Stevens and the three other Americans fell prey to the protest against the anti-Islam film and were killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi by armed protesters.
The attack in Libya — which borders Algeria and Tunisia — came hours after Egyptian protesters climbed the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, pulling down the American flag and temporarily replacing it with a black Islamic banner.
