As anti-American riots spread to Australia, Al Qaeda urged Muslims to step up protests and kill more U.S. diplomats in Muslim countries in response to the U.S.-made film which mocks the Prophet Mohammed.
The terror group made the appeal as riot police clashed with around 200 protesters at the U.S. Consulate in Sydney on Saturday as demonstrations against the anti-Islam film 'Innocence of Muslims' spread across the world.
The Al Qaeda statement said; 'Whoever comes across America's ambassadors or emissaries should follow the example of Omar al-Mukhtar's descendants (Libyans), who killed the American ambassador,' the group said, referring to Tuesday's attack on the U.S. consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi.
