[quote:Anonymous Coward 316351:MV8xOTg3MDcwXzMzMzgzMDI1XzVDMzlBQTdE] The U.S. has launched a major military manhunt to find the terrorists responsible for the murder of U.S. ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his team in a bloody attack on Tuesday against the U.S. consulate in Libya. U.S. officials have announced they are sending warships to the coast of Libya in an apparent terrorist hunt, and American drone aircraft are also expected to join the search for potential targets. Violence is spreading across the Muslim world and currently up to 5,000 protestors are trying to storm the U.S. embassy in Yemen's capital, Sana'a. The White House has said it is keeping an open mind as to the reason for the Tuesday's strike in Libya, but it is investigating whether the attack in Benghazi was planned in advance by terrorists. The assault had initially been thought to have been a spontaneous reaction to protests over an anti-Islamic film, but there is now speculation it was a long-planned ambush on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack, or a revenge attack for death of an al Qaeda official in June in Yemen. A U.S. counter-terrorism official said the Benghazi violence was 'too co-ordinated or professional' to be unplanned. [/quote]
