Muslim Anti-Film Protest Hits London

The worldwide Muslim protests against a film insulting the Prophet Muhammad reached London, when up to 1,500 people demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy in Grosvenor Square.

Protesters chanted slogans condemning the film and U.S. foreign policy, after Islamic leaders demanded more demonstrations throughout the week.

The demonstration, which passed without incident, saw anger at the film mix with broader political points about Guantanamo Bay and drone strikes in Pakistan.
