look like that situation is on the verge of calming down anytime soon if we turn to the situation and ghazi in libya it's quite different because we have to keep in mind that while u.s. influence in egypt was not really welcomed by the protests there they really see the u.s. as being the big backer of their former president and aren't really welcoming to their policies in libya the demonstrators there the uprising there had really welcomed western intervention so it's quite ironic unfortunately that the u.s. consul bastard was killed along with several other consulate workers when really they were the people that were invited into the country to help them overthrow moammar gadhafi and so it's a really really contradictory sort of situation but we do also have to keep in mind that some of the islamic militant groups in libya have been suspected of trying to put together this kind of situation in the past in june there was a reported bombing attempt of the very same building in the that was stopped and no one was injured but again it's a really tense situation and it only looks like this is g

witnesses say they also used machine guns and rocket propelled grenades there's a lot of that even ghazi libya was flooded with weapons to fight colonel gadhafi chris stevens himself played an active role in bringing down the something that was pointed out by hillary clinton in the speech she said how could this happen in a country we helped liberate in a city we saved from destruction we also heard that a u.s. marine and to terror team is heading for gaza to reinforce security at u.s. diplomatic facilities going back to the movie that instigated this deadly attack it was produced by a real estate developer from california who put its trailer on you tube something that very few people saw before a preacher from florida terry jones started promoting it the same preacher whose burning of a koran last year triggered riots in afghanistan this latest film obviously caught fire with mr with people in the part of the world where they don't just let things like that go was they didn't with the caricature of muhammad in a danish newspaper in two thousand and five that triggered a lot of riots as

, the situation is -- again ghazi, it is calmer -- benghazi.nd before admissions here. and around key government installations. security building. we have seen an uncrease in security there. and a lot of concern that there might be more attacks carried out by the militant groups. whether this attack was preplanned to happen on third baseman or was it just a protest over the amateur video that got out of hand. >>> when the news broke, we were speaking to witnesses in benghazi and it was a protest that became violent. it is getting clearer and clearer. and we are hearing the same thing here in libya from government officials that this is most likely a preplanned attack carried out by islamic extremist groups. they may have used the protest as a diversion or a cover up for their actual plans to attack the consulate yesterday from the libyan speaker of parliament. addressing the world. saying they will not allow libya to be used by the militant groups to carry out what he calls revenge attacks and that they did occur and coincide with the anniversa

. >> ar wa, in ben ghazi what is the atmosphere there now? people -- we saw pictures, rallies supporting the united states there. i mean, is it predominantly pro or anti u.s. sentiment there? can you tell? >> anderson, i landed a few hours ago, really in the middle of the night? libyans i met when i was on the ground, are all really appalled at what happened. many of them are completely speechless and still in shock, and many of them want to emphasize this is not representative of libya, this is not representative of the libya that they were trying to establish, the libya that they fought, and they themselves died for or lost family members for. but this really goes to show how sinister this country can potentially become. the government has to figure out a way to get the weapons off the street and back into its own control and that's one of the biggest challenges moving forward. post revolution, there were a series of policies trying to get revolutionary fighting brigades into the security forces trying to persuade them to give up their weap

both died in that attack in benefit ghazi on tuesday. in libya, the violence shows no sign of letting up. protesters burned american flags. across the middle east, anger is growing over a movie that ridiculed islam. it has already turned deadly after protesters stormed the u.s. embassy killing chris stevens. libya's new prime minister is is vowing to crack down. >> we are going to work very vigorously in building our police force, our army and we are going to allow our young people especially the revolutionaries who are very sincere, we would like to give them an opportunity to become official members of of our police force. >> president obama condemned the deadly attack on the u.s. embassy and vowed to seekious for those responsible for the killings. a u.s. fill tells reuters there had been at least one specific warning about possible unrest following the airing of the anticipate-muslim movie on an arabic talk show last week. that warning though was not considered alarming. that is the latest here in the newsroom. back to you. >> thank

, it's pretty clear that security people should have given him more security, particularly in been ghazi. as you know, the country is divided very badly. there are far more islamic influence in that part of libya than tripoli. >> previously you mentioned people from the obama administration said they felt this wasn't a planned attack, an offshoot of this video. but the director of the national counterterrorism center said at a hearing today, attack in benghazi was "a terrorist attack." he didn't specify if it was preplanned or not. it goes beyond what we've heard before. how significant is that? >> i think it's significant that the secretary of the united nations would go on our networks and tell people things that are absolutely false and fly in the face of the facts. i think maybe the american people are owed an apology. but the most important thing is that we have to understand that this video was not the cause of it. the cause of it was islamists who use these videos in order to inflame these people, in order to attack america. i mean, anderson, i'm confident right now there, are peo
