Mobs broke windows at both embassies Monday to protest a visit last week by the American and French ambassadors to the opposition stronghold of Hama in central Syria. The French Foreign Ministry said three embassy workers were injured.

Police were deployed heavily around the embassies Tuesday.

Syrian authorities said the visits to Hama were interference in the country’s internal affairs.

The US and France both accused Syrian forces of being too slow to respond to the attacks and demanded the government abide by its international obligations to protect diplomatic missions.

France, meanwhile, urged the United Nations Security Council to speak out on recent events in Syria.

“We want the Security Council to speak out on what has happened,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero told a news briefing.

Paris has led efforts to pass a UN Security Council resolution condemning Syria’s violent repression of pro-reform protests.
