Thousands of angry Syrian protestors break into the Danish Embassy in Damascus, Syria on Saturday, February 4, 2006 and set fire to the buildings in protest of offensive caricatures of Islam's prophet. Police fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse demonstrators who had arrived at the Norwegian Embassy after earlier setting fire to the Danish Embassy, about six kilometers (four miles) away. But the protesters broke through police barriers and set fire to the building, shouting 'Allahu Akbar,' or God is great. [AP]
