Symbols of America and US embassies have been targeted around the globe in a fourth day of protest after Tuesday's deadly raid on the American consulate in Libya.

It is not thought any US staff were in the embassy in Tunis, where an American school has also been set on fire.

They were pushed back outside by police and special forces who continued to arrive on the scene.
