Protesters are trying to storm the British and German embassies in Khartoum as a KFC restaurant is set alight in Tripoli.<\/h2>\n

More than 5,000 protesters have attacked the British and German embassies in the Sudanese capital Khartoum in the latest violence sparked by an anti-Muslim film.<\/p>\n

Demonstrators broke into the German compound, pulling down the German flag and flying a black Islamic flag above the building. They also smashed windows and started a fire in front of the main gate.<\/p>\n

Police fired tear gas at the protesters, who then moved on to the nearby British embassy in Khartoum East.<\/p>\n

Britain’s Foreign Office said: “We can confirm an ongoing demonstration outside the British Embassy in Khartoum. Sudanese police are at the scene.”<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, thousands of protesters arrived in buses and cars to gather on the main street near the heavily-fortified US embassy. They lit several fires, as police fired tear gas to disperse them.<\/p>\n

Unrest has spread across the Middle East, provoked by a US-made video depicting the Prophet Mohammed having sex, calling for massacres, and as a homosexual.<\/p>\n

In Lebanon, hundreds of protesters chanting anti-American slogans set fire to a KFC restaurant in the northern city of Tripoli. One demonstrator was killed and 25 others wounded in the violence.<\/p>\n

Locals watching the attack said people were shouting: “We don’t want the Pope” and “No more insults (to Islam)”.<\/p>\n

It came as Pope Benedict began a three-day visit to Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n
