The US navy has dispatched two guided missile destroyers and a 50-member marine unit to the Libyan coast.
A senior US official, whose name was not mentioned in the report, said on Wednesday that the USS Laboon and the USS McFaul “are going to be in the vicinity of Libya but only as a precautionary measure.”
 
On September 11, US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three staff members of the US consulate were killed in an attack on the consulate building in the city of Benghazi.
The US consulate incident took place after a group of people held a demonstration against an anti-Islam movie produced in the United States.

Outrage is growing across the Muslim world over the $5-million movie that was financed by more than 100 Jews.
