The US defense secretary stated in this article that the acts of violence on September 11th were performed by terrorists. The US ambassador along with three others were killed during protests against an anti-Muslim film was produced and displayed on the Internet. Hilary Clinton is calling the violence a terrorist attack and possibly links the killings to Al-Qaeda. The defense secretary has stated that further investigation will be done to fully support the accusation. The cutting of staff is said to be a safety precaution while early next week they will continue to monitor and hopefully maintain full staff once again.
The prime minister of Libya has said that a full investigation will take place. Another diplomat and two more US security men were killed during this attack.mit is said that Stephens, the ambassador died of smoke inhalation as he was trapped inside a room alone. This is a tragic story that coud have been prevented if a simple unnecessary video was not produced.

Sometimes I wonder if freedom ofnspeech can be linked to terrorist attacks. One word, one cartoon, can spark a national safety alert. In this case, it sparked an international frenzy. I do believe there is a time and place for whrn things should be shared, but whomever produced that video knew it would create controversy. Iq feel sonsad that to this day there is still no peace for the Muslim religion and prople.
