Storming the U.S. Embassy in Kairo

Anti-U.S. protest in Egypt and Libya has been triggered off by an American made film on Prophet Mohammed that showed him as a fraud and womanizer.

While the storming of the U.S. embassy in Kairo was already discussed in yesterday's evening show on CNN, the storming of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi and the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya made the headlines of Al-Arabiya's September 11 News Report. It was not before the next day, September 12, that ABC and other Western media reported on the outcome of the Benghazi attack.

مقتل سفير أمريكا اختناقاً في هجوم القنصلية بليبيا

Assassination of U.S. ambassador who suffocated in
an attack targeting the [U.S.] consulate in Libya.

عضو في المؤتمر الليبي:ـ
الانتخابات المقررة اليوم مستمرة ولن يوقفها شيء

A member of the Libyan Congress: The elections fixed
for today are continuing without any obstruction.

A clarification of the above headlines from Al-Arabiya can be found in a related article published on September 11, 2012:

هجوم البارحة على القنصلية في بنغازي
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, 52, died in
yesterday's attack on the consulate in Benghazi .
The Arabic source says that another 3 or 4 U.S. diplomats were killed in Benghazi while ABC News mentioned but 2 further victims. Inhalation of smoke should have caused the death of at least one of them.

Both incidents, in Kairo and Benghazi, are being related to pro-Al-Qaeda forces who seemed to be present in both places. However, it is only clear for the Benghazi assault that an Al-Qaeda near group, Ansar al-Sharia, has used the occasion to target U.S. diplomats.

The black flag mounted on the compound of Kairo's U.S. embassy (above) might be slightly different from the kind of Al-Qaeda flag we know from Yemen and West Africa. However, it could be that Al-Qaeda is not spending a dime on the certification of their corporate design. At least, the "Allahu Akbar" and the human skull on a black background have been preserved as some kind of "trademark".
