About 1,000 Bangladeshi Islamists tried to march on the US embassy in Dhaka on Thursday to protest against a US film that is said to insult Islam but security forces stopped them reaching the mission, police and witnesses said.
Anti-US protests have erupted in several countries this week. On Tuesday night, gunmen stormed the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, and the US ambassador and three other members of staff were killed.
In Bangladesh, about 1,000 members of the Khelafat Andolon group demonstrated in the capital and threatened to step up their protests after they were blocked from approaching the US embassy. There were no reports of violence.
We will stage bigger protests over the issue and may also besiege the US embassy, said Moulana Hemayetuddin, a senior leader of the group.
