Salafist crowds chanting “We are Osama” and protesting an anti-Islam film on YouTube climbed the walls of the US Embassy in Cairo on Sept. 11, taking down the US flag and replacing it with al Qaeda’s; security forces did little to intervene. Mohamed al Zawahiri, brother of al Qaeda emir Ayman al Zawahiri, claimed he had organized the protest.
