The '''Libyan War''' started as the '''Benghazi rebellion''', a series of protests in extremist dominated eastern [[Libya]] on February 16, 2011 after the toppling of secular regimes in [[Tunisia]] and [[Egypt]]. The scale of violence contrasted markedly with the more peaceful and generally popular uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt. The [[Islamist]] terror group [[Al-Qaeda]] in North Africa vowed to do everything in its power to help the uprising against the Libyan [[secular]] strongman [[Muammar Gaddafi]].<ref> [http://www.dawn.com/2011/02/24/al-qaeda-in-n-africa-backs-libya-uprising-site.html Al Qaeda in N.

By September 16, 2012 the evolution of the Obama administration story was complete when Susan Rice, the U.N. ambassador, showed up on all five major Sunday morning talk shows to make the most direct public connection yet between the Benghazi assault and the incendiary video. Couching her remarks in caveats – “based on the information we have at present,” for example – Rice clearly intended to make the link before a large American audience. Rice told longtime Democratic partisan [[George Stephanopoulos]] on ABC’s ''This Week,'' the attack was “a spontaneous – not a premeditated – response to what had transpired in Cairo” – a reference to a demonstration triggered by a satirical youtube video in which a mob breached the U.S. Embassy compound and tore down the American flag. Rice repeated the false claim throughout her talk-show appearances and later blamed U.S intelligence services for giving her incorrect information.<ref>http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2012/10/18/171933/obama-administration-officials.html</ref>

U.S intelligence officials said the leading suspected jihadis in the murders and terrorist attack are a local Benghazi militia, Ansar al-Shariah, known to have ties to a leading African terror group, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).<ref>http://blogs.ajc.com/political-insider-jim-galloway/2012/10/19/when-an-obama-adviser-called-benghazi-an-al-qaeda-hotbed/?cxntfid=blogs_political_insider_jim_galloway</ref>
