US EMBASSY's that were attacked on sept 11 2012
""On September 11, 2012, a series of protests and violent attacks began in response to a
YouTube trailer for a film called
Innocence of Muslims, considered
blasphemous by many Muslims. The reactions began at U.S. diplomatic mission in
Cairo, Egypt, and quickly spread across the Muslim world to additional U.S. and other countries' diplomatic missions and other locations, with issues beyond the offense at the movie trailer becoming subjects of protest. In Cairo a group scaled the embassy wall and tore down the
American flag to replace it with a
black Islamic flag.
Also on September 11, a well-known group of local Islamist militants launched a planned
attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, killing four Americans. The role of the video in motivating the attack quickly became an ongoing dispute in the American political arena. Numerous eyewitnesses reported that the attackers said they were motivated by the video.
[21][22][23][24][25][26] Though Libyan officials initially stated that hundreds of protesters had been present before the attack, later investigations by the U.S. government concluded that no protest took place prior to the attack.
[27][28][29][30] Republican critics have accused the
Obama Administration of overemphasizing the role of the video in the attack and launched numerous Congressional probes and investigations of the incident.
On September 13, protests occurred at the U.S. embassy in
Sana'a, Yemen, resulting in the deaths of four protesters and injuries to thirty-five protesters and guards. On September 14, the U.S. consulate in
Chennai was attacked, resulting in injuries to twenty-five protesters.

Tunis, Tunisia, climbed the U.S. embassy walls and set trees on fire. At least four people were killed and forty-six injured during protests in Tunis on September 15.
