Protesters in the Sudanese capital Khartoum angered by a film mocking Islam are clashing with police firing tear gas outside the US embassy.
Demonstrators have attacked the German and British embassies. They started fires and tore down the German flag, raising an Islamist banner.
In Lebanon, a KFC fast-food restaurant was set alight, killing one person.
Five people were injured in protests in Cairo, state media said. There are also clashes in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa.
A spokesperson for the UK Foreign Office confirmed to the BBC that a demonstration was taking place outside the embassy in Khartoum, and said Sudanese police were at the scene.
However, the spokesperson could not say whether protesters had entered the embassy, or whether the demonstration was about the anti-Islam film.
After talks with Italian leaders in Rome, Mr Mursi reiterated his government’s determination to protect foreign diplomats on its soil. He also condemned the film as unacceptable.
