Protestors destroy vital documents

Late on Friday hundreds of protesters destroyed a wall around the embassy building before a group of about 30 broke in and threw documents out of windows. Reuters news agency quoted an Israeli official in Jerusalem as saying that the documents appeared to be "pamphlets and forms kept at the foyer". Egypt's state media said some of the documents were marked confidential.

At the Israeli embassy there is now an Egyptian flag flying instead of the Israeli flag. The focus of the protest has shifted away from the embassy to a headquarters of the Egyptian security forces, which is next to the embassy. There are hundreds of protesters, young people, trying to attack the headquarters. They are chanting slogans against the security forces and the head of the military interim ruling council, Field Marshall Hussein Tantawi. Dozens of rounds of tear gas have been fired. A medical official told me four people had been critically injured. I can hear gunshots from the security forces trying to prevent the headquarters from being attacked. There is a large fire in front of the gates of the security headquarters.

An Israeli official told the BBC the intruders had entered consular offices, but not the main embassy. After initially standing by, police moved against the protesters, firing tear gas. Several vehicles were set alight. Live TV pictures in the early hours of Saturday showed protesters throwing petrol bombs at police vans which drove at a crowd of people to try to scatter them. Shots were heard in the area but it is not clear who fired them. There are reports a police station near the embassy was raided by protesters.

Egyptian state media said about 200 people had been injured in the unrest. A statement from the office of Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said he had spoken with his US counterpart Leon Panetta and had "asked them to protect the embassy from the demonstrators".

Delhi bomb: Indian group 'may be behind' court attack

India's Home Minister P Chidambaram has said it is likely that an attack on the Delhi high court was carried out by militants based in India. "We can no longer point to cross-border terrorism as a source of terror attacks in India," Chidambaram .

He said the authorities were still trying to verify emails allegedly sent by two groups claiming responsibility for Wednesday's attack. The death toll from the blast has now risen to 13, with 76 others wounded. The two groups who have purportedly said they carried out the attack are Harkat-ul Jihad al-Islami (Huji), which has Pakistani origins and is accused of links to al-Qaeda, and the Indian Mujahideen.

The email reportedly sent by Huji was traced to a cyber cafe in Indian-administered Kashmir and police there have detained five people. 'Fairly certain' Chidambaram said that even though Huji had claimed responsibility for the blast, the group had not been active in India for a while.

"There have been three major attacks in India recently - in Pune, Mumbai (Bombay) and Delhi. "In respect of the Mumbai and Pune attacks, we are fairly certain they were carried out by Indian modules or India-based modules," Chidambaram said, in his first media interview since the court bombing.

In the past, India has often blamed Pakistan-based groups for carrying out attacks on Indian soil. "That threat remains - but we must also look at Indian modules or India-based modules which are capable of carrying out terror attacks," he said. Mr Chidambaram said India would now have to focus on improving its counter-terrorism abilities and go after militant groups based in India. He said the country's proximity to Pakistan and Afghanistan was a cause for worry and India was concerned about how to prevent the radicalisation of its youth.

The Indian government is under increasing pressure following the latest attack, with concerns that its security and intelligence agencies are still not in a position to handle the growing threat despite pledges to do so following the attacks on Mumbai in 2008.

"The government can build capacity and extend the intelligence network, but policing is a very complex task and there will be cases where the terrorist is able to slip through the cracks," Mr Chidambaram said. Later, he told a news conference that those being questioned in Indian-administered Kashmir included the person suspected of sending the "Huji email".

He described the leads as "promising but not conclusive", and added that the likelihood of more attacks was high as India was in a troubled neighbourhood. Libya conflict: 'Battle under way' for Bani Walid The anti-Gaddafi fighters said they had to respond to loyalist attacks Anti-Gaddafi forces in Libya say they are close to capturing the town of Bani Walid, one of four towns still under the control of loyalist fighters. Commanders said they had cleared outlying areas and were within two kilometres of the centre. They said they hoped to have full control in the next few hours.

Bani Walid and three other loyalist-held towns were given until Saturday to surrender but the anti-Gaddafi forces said they had come under attack. Fierce fighting has also been reported close to the Gaddafi-held city of Sirte.

'Snipers' The BBC's Richard Galpin, near Bani Walid, says the anti-Gaddafi forces had given a briefing in which they said they had had no choice but to respond to the loyalist attacks.
