French CRS riot police officers cordon off the area next to the US embassy in Paris
French CRS riot police officers cordon off the area next to the U.S. embassy to provide security in response to calls on the internet by Islamic groups to demonstrate in protest over an anti-Islam video, in Paris September 22, 2012. In France, where the publication of cartoons denigrating the Prophet Mohammad stoked anger over an anti-Islam video, the authorities banned all protests over the issue.
