Tehran: Protesters throw firebombs at Danish Embassy

Police have used tear gas to disperse hundreds of angry protesters who hurled stones and fire bombs at the Danish Embassy in Tehran, in the second attack on a Western embassy in the Iranian capital today over the publication of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed.

Police had encircled the embassy building but were unable to hold back the estimated 400 demonstrators as they pelted the walled brick villa housing the Danish mission with stones and Molotov cocktails.
