The U.S. Navy has sent two warships in Libyan waters, after the murder of U.S. Ambassador to the Islamic extremist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, the news agencies reported.
"Two destroyers ukotviće near the Libyan coast, but only as a preventive measure," said an unnamed U.S. military official and added that sending a ship does not mean impending military operation.
USS Laboon already located near the Libyan coast, while the USS McFaul on the road for a few days and should arrive at your destination. Ships that are equipped with tomahawk missiles, not having a specific mission.
"The U.S. military regularly take precautions in certain situations. This in some circumstances it is not only logical, but also as a precaution," said the military official.
United States earlier announced that it will send a team to Libya of about 50 Marines from the anti-terrorist unit, after the attack on Tuesday night in which the next ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed, three more Americans.
U.S. President Barack Obama ordered the raising of the level of security at all U.S. diplomatic missions.
An unnamed U.S. official said that the staff of the consulate in Benghazi were evacuated to Germany and that a number of American diplomats withdrawn from Tripoli.
Who is Sam Basil?
The film, which lasts two hours, called "Innocent Muslims", drew attention in Egypt after an insert translated into Arabic and published in South tjubu.
Sam Basil, a 56-year old building contractor from California, said he wrote the screenplay, produced and directed the film. Basil told the AP that he was an Israeli Jew and a U.S. citizen.However, Israeli officials said yesterday that they have not heard of Basil and do not have the information to their citizens.
Basil said he did not anticipate such a heated reaction. Speaking by telephone from an undisclosed location, Basil who is hiding from yesterday, remains defiant. He says he believes the film will expose the shortcomings of the world of Islam.
"Islam is a cancer, and the point," he repeated several times.
On the other hand, the American pastor Terry Jones, who has enraged the Muslim world 2010th year plans to burn the Koran says is responsible for promoting the controversial film.
He stated that this is a satirical film about the life of Mohammed, adding that he showed a promotional trailer after he organized a symbolic "trial" prophet. The Afghan government has tried to prevent the outbreak of protests.
President Hamid Karzai condemned the film describes as "brutal and offensive." The authorities have also temporarily banned access Ju tjubu.
After posting a clip from the film, followed by the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, were killed when U.S. Ambassador Christopher Jay Stevens and three officials.
In the Benghazi residents are fighting among themselves over whether the attack was correct or not. One passerby said Reuter reporter: "We showed the Italians in 2006, and now the Americans have seen what we did." He talked about the raid to the Italian embassy for allegedly insulting Islam.
A few hours before the attack, in Benghazi, the Egyptians also angry about a film about Muhammad, protested outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, climbing walls and swinging on the U.S. flag, which was briefly replaced by a black Islamist flag. Police Riot Control Unit stood by the walls of the embassy, but the few hours allowed the demonstrators to climb on the walls.
However, it seemed that the demonstrators themselves are controlled and do not exceed certain limits. Only 24 hours after the attacks in Egypt and Libya, the police were forced to disperse angry demonstrators with tear gas in front of the U.S. Embassy in Tunis.
Protests in Libya, Egypt and Tunisia, sparked a bizarre movie that was filmed in the U.S. Jew from California, and that Islam is called a "cancer". In the published sequences of the Southern tjubu prophet Muhammad is ridiculed and described as a cheater, a womanizer and a lunatic. It also has been shown to have sexual relations and calls for the massacres.
For many Muslims blasphemous to publish images of Muhammad and this incident is reminiscent of the one when a Danish newspaper published cartoons izavale unrest in the Middle East, Africa and Asia, the 2006th which killed at least 50 people.
