Sudanese police say two protesters were killed in a traffic
accident during chaotic demonstrations outside the U.S. Embassy in Sudan,
bringing the total killed in a wave of protests across the Muslim world against
an anti-Islam film to at least five.
Two demonstrators died in Tunisia during Friday's violence
and another was killed in Lebanon. Egyptian police have not confirmed reports
of the death of another protester in Cairo.
The Sudanese police official said Saturday on state radio
that the accident outside the embassy, about 15 kilometers (10 miles) southeast
of the capital Khartoum, was "unintentional." He did not elaborate.
He said 6,000 participated in the protests. Demonstrators stormed
the German Embassy before moving on in buses to the U.S. Embassy, where police
used tear gas to stop them scaling the walls.
