Germany to close embassies tomorrow in Muslim countries

18:57 20 SET 2012 


(AGI) Berlin - Germany will close its embassies in Muslim countries tomorrow fearing attacks connected to protests against the "blasphemous" movie about the Prophet Mohammed. 

The German foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, explained that closing the embassies on the usually tense day of Friday is a protective measure put in place to protect the country's diplomatic sites. 

Many embassies in Muslim countries are closed anyway on Friday, but German diplomats have been told not to go to work for any reason.
