In Egypt and Libya, mobs attacks the U.S. embassy and consulate, respectively, in protests against an amateur film that was deemed to have hurt Muslim sentiments for desecrating the Prophet Mohammed. In Cairo, Egypt, the mob scaled the embassy wall and tore down the flag of the United States of America and replaced it with a black Islamist flag. In Benghazi, Libya, RPGs were fired at the consulate from a nearby far result in the death of the visiting Ambassador Christopher Stevens from smoke inhalation, two of his security personnel, another unknown staff member and injuries to two others.
