(WTVR) - Secretary of State Hilary Clinton called the video that has sparked outrage across the Mideast "disgusting".

Today, hundreds of protestors stormed U.S. embassies, this time in Yemen and Iran.

It's the latest violence linked to an American made film mocking Islam's founding prophet.

Protests have also turned violent in Egypt and of course Libya where the U.S. Ambassador and some security members were murdered yesterday.

Is there a potential for subsequent events?

Associate Professor at VCU and expert in Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness William Pelfrey weighs in.
