Libya attack: Obama vows justice for killed US envoy

US President Barack Obama has vowed to bring to justice the killers of the US ambassador to Libya during protests against a film that mocks Islam.

But he told reporters that the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi would not break the bonds between the US and the new Libyan government.

Mitt Romney, Mr Obama's political foe, criticised the handling of the crisis.

Ambassador J Christopher Stevens reportedly died of smoke inhalation after a crowd stormed the consulate.

Three other Americans were also killed, amid reports that rocket-propelled grenades had been fired during the assault on Tuesday night.

The consulate was set ablaze and a charred car could be seen parked near the damaged buildings on Wednesday.

A US marine anti-terrorism team is being sent to Libya to bolster security after the attack, a US defence source told reporters in Washington.

Protesters against the film also attacked the US embassy in Cairo on Tuesday night.

Update at 2:07 p.m. ET: CNN reports that U.S. security guards fired a volley of warning shots as the crowd gathered outside the embassy walls.

CNN adds that the embassy had been expecting a demonstration and cleared all diplomatic personnel earlier from the facility.

Reuters reports that protesters tried to raise a black flag carrying the slogan: "There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger."

Egyptian protesters on Tuesday took down the American flag from the walls of the US embassy in Cairo during a thousands-strong demonstration held to condemn a short film produced by California-based American-Israeli Sam Bacile, which critics say demeans Islam and the Prophet Mohammed.

The film was initially thought to have been produced by members of the Coptic Diaspora. Maurice Sadek, a conservative Coptic Christian living in the US, and controversial Pastor Terry Jones, who is known for his burning of the Quran, are believed to have been promoting the film but were not involved in its production, according to reports in the Wall Street Journal.

This crap hits close to home for me; last nite, at 906 pm eastern time, I received a phone call from my company delivery driver, telling me that his brother in law had been killed in LIbya; the details he gave me were sketchy, just enough so I would know the situation at hand for him;

I received word this afternoon that he and his wife would be flying to DC tomorrow to receive his brother in law's remains, that he was killed at Benghazi, and the Potus and Hillary are supposed to meet with them at this time.

It just pisses me off that there was very little if any security at the facility.

I am still waiting for Muslims to acknowledge the fact that the only reason why the rest of us sometimes feel an urge to burn a Qu'ran, is solely because we know that they are determined not to allow us to do so.

They do not rule this planet; not yet.

This is not about some low budget film produced by a no name
person who has all but dissapeared after his initial "press release".

That film was released in July. So...what have these extremists,
who are also connected to The Muslim Brotherhood been doing
since July (WELL THAT IS BESIDES TAKING 1.5 MILLION IN AID
FROM OBAMA AND HILLARY)

Waiting for instructions, thats what. This is such an obvious
coordination, and of course Apologizer in Cheif Obama takes
breaks from intelligence briefs, and Secretary of State Clinton
is probably in a bar dancing, and Joe Biden is probably eating
a cheeseburger somewhere, with a biker chick on his lap.

And....even Clinton issued a statement citing the movie
and apologizing. Well....let me just say this, what a crock.

A crock of lies told, this is not about that movie. Yes,
they used the movie as a propaganda piece, nothing new
about that.

Propaganda is as old as war.

Wake up and smell the Caliphate a brewing.
