利比亚逮捕几名美使馆袭击案疑犯

 

New Libyan Prime Minister Mustafa Abu Shaqur told the BBC the investigation² was making progress.

 

The attack happened on Tuesday during protests over a US-made film that mocks the Prophet Mohammed.

 

Similar protests have spread across the Middle East and North Africa. Further unrest is expected at Friday prayers.

 

Clashes between riot police and protesters continued overnight in the Egyptian capital Cairo, where Islamist groups and others have called for a peaceful "million-man march" later on Friday.

 

US President Barack Obama has promised to do whatever is necessary to protect US citizens abroad and said he was urging foreign governments to guarantee their security.

 

A White House statement said he had thanked Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi for condemning³ an attack on the US embassy there and for launching an investigation.

 

"President Obama expressed appreciation⁴ for the co-operation we have received from the Yemeni government and underscored the importance of working together to ensure the security of US personnel," the statement said.
