BBC News - Libya attack: US to investigate Benghazi assault
The US is investigating whether the attack in Libya that killed the US ambassador and several other people was planned in advance, officials say.
The assault had earlier been thought to have been a spontaneous reaction to protests over an anti-Islamic film.
US President Barack Obama has called the presidents of Egypt and Libya to urge cooperation over security for diplomatic staff.
There have been further clashes outside the US embassy in Cairo overnight.
Thousands of people gathered outside the building in the Egyptian capital, chanting and starting fires.
Police and troops fired tear gas to break up the crowds, some of whom were seen carrying petrol bombs.
On Wednesday, demonstrators in Cairo angry at the film - Innocence of Muslims - had breached the walls of the US embassy and torn down the flag.
President Barack Obama has vowed to bring those behind the attack to justice, but said the US would not "break bonds" with the new Libyan government.
The White House says Mr Obama spoke to Libyan President Mohamed Magarief on Wednesday evening and agreed the two countries should work together to identify the attackers.
In a further call to Egypt, President Mohammed Morsi promised to ensure the safety of American staff in the country, the White House said.
Security has been tightened at US embassies across the world.
A marine anti-terrorism team is being deployed to Libya to bolster security there, a US defence source told reporters in Washington.
The US says it is also sending two destroyers to the coast of Libya as a precautionary measure.

quotes from some low life terrorist:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is clear from the above statements of yanki terrorist that they wanted a loop whole to deploy forces in Libya which otherwise would not have been possible since the fall of gaddafi. They also want to twist the arms of the democratically elected MB gov in egypt and keep pressure on them in this excuse. And a destabilised oil rich libya next door will keep the new gov in Egypt occupied and dependent on the Yankis. And on top of that as the statement from PJ Crowley (Former US Assistant Secretary of State) proves , with this highly sophisticated operation of attacking 3 US embassy at they same time they can keep the illusion of "islamic terrorism" in the minds of gullible ignorant americans. They want to keep this imaginary enemy alive even after 1 decade of the false flag op of 9/11 .

quotes from some low life terrorist:
The purpose of her trip, Mrs Clinton told reporters as she left Washington on Sunday, was to find ways to "respond to the needs of the Libyan people not only in a humanitarian way but in a political and civil response as they try to sort through how they're going to organise themselves post-Qaddafi."
The attack is a grim reminder that the threat the United States and the West have been dealing with for more than a decade may be reduced, but is not gone”- PJ Crowley (Former US Assistant Secretary of State)
"We have planners working on various contingency plans," the Pentagon spokesman Colonel Dave Lapan said.
The deployment would give the US president Barack Obama options in the crisis, said Colonel Lapan, without specifying which ships and aircraft had been given orders or what potential action was under consideration.
