@Martin Cassar
What is wrong Mr.Cassar is that these extremists don't limit themselves to protests when they get offended but turn up to violence and that is highly deplorable..full stop.
And please leave your conspiracy theories regarding Al Qaeda and Zionists to some Hollywood director..

Exactly. According to Sky this morning it is likely either Al Qaeda or old remnants of the Gaddafi regime who used the situation as cover. The attack was too well coordinated to be spontaneous and goes against the norm of anti-American protests (burn a flag/destroy a building but leave people alone)

Do you remember 'Life of Brian', that was insulting to many many Christians, did the Christians go out and murder the people who's idea it was to film? No...
As for the comment an Israeli started this mess, actually there are over 19,000 terrorist attacks since 9/11, and they have been carried out by Muslims in the name of Islam. Lets see you try and blame this on the Israeli's.

Actually that has turned out to be a lie - the Guy is an Egyptian Coptic (Christian). The whole thing was aimed to make trouble and is darker than it seems (why else translate to Arabic and post it to you tube months after the film was released). It is likely politically motivated too considering the US election approaching soon.

Smoke inhalation as the result of a grenade being fired into a building and setting fire to it (not an accidental fire).

Oh well, that's okay then!

gunned down could be used as a metaphor in this case - the Ambassador died as a result of a grenade (not the shrapnel but the residual effects, i.e. smoke).

I never said it's ÓK' or that it was an accident. I just pointed out that he was not gunned down. He was asphyxiated by smoke resulting from the terroristic attack. For the record I still think it's barbarous.

@ Malcolm Seychell,

Why do you always have to come out with ‘intelligent’ observations?

Malcolm,

I believe there's more than meets the eye going on in Libya. The rebels may have had a just cause but there may be other forces at work that want to reap advantage of the situation, create instability, discredit the new administration and reign in the ensuing confusion.

Just my humble opinion.

@ Alla ħares f' malta jkollna politiċi bħalek, Sur Seychell!

Politiku serju qatt ma għandu jifraħ b' ġrajja daqshekk kera!

Ir-Ribelli ma kienu ħadd għajr il-maġġioranza tal-poplu Libjan maħqur, imsawwat, imbiċċer, u maqtul mit-tirania tal-familja Gaddafi!

Allura inti lill dawn it-tiranni familja Gaddafi tappoġja Sur Malcolm Seychell?

Prositt Sur Prim Ministru, il-Maltin u l-Għawxin huma kburin bid-deċiżjonijiet li ħadt fil-kwistjoni tal-Libja, u bil-għajununa li pajjiżna permezz tiegħek dejjem ta lill-poplu libjan u lill kull minn kien jinħtieġa!

Malcolm, I have to disagree with you on this one. There is a lot more than meets the eye in Libya. You also have to understand that you will find opportunists everywhere, even in causes that often start out with genuine intentions and then finish with the same sort of political bundle. Only time will tell and it's still early. I am really sorry for this poor man and his family. Diplomacy does not always pay, alas.

There is always the question of culture and religion plays a big part in it. When the fighting ended in |libya i wrote that the real war was just beginning. I knew that the rebel factions would want their pound of flesh. The populace is still armed to the teeth and one spark could set the country ablaze once more.

Well the Western govenments are beholden to their electorates which have an increasing number of sympathisers of islamic expansionism/blind liberals so what does one expect?

Mr.Seychell why are u addressing the Prime Minister, and Sarkozy, and the EU???? Its true that they gave the Libyans some sort of help,, but don't forget,,that the libyans paid all this with there own blood....This barbarous act is from the people from the old Regime,,because they still believe in the Tyrant, Murderer Gaddafi....They don't want the Libyans to live in peace,,,
