THE WEST APPEALS FOR AN END TO MIDDLE EASTERN VOILENCE
Western countries have appealed for an end to violent protests targeting their embassies, sparked by a film mocking the Prophet Muhammad.
The US is sending marines to defend its embassy in Khartoum and has called on Sudan to protect foreign diplomats.
At least 7 people have been killed and dozens wounded in the demonstrations in more than 20 countries.
President Obama said Washington will "stand fast" against the attacks.
