This is part of the expected turmoil to replace the old regime with a new regime. Even when Libya and Egypt had their elections the struggle is far from over in both countries as the diverging forces are fighting not only on the political level to install their regime.
But it looks more and more as a local AQ group used the instability to take revenge, using the orchestrated violent demonstrations as a distraction and later as a magnifier.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney just took questions at the daily briefing about the ongoing and escalating situation of riots in the Middle East and other parts of the world. As Guy reported earlier, a story by the UK Independent said the White House had intelligence that U.S. Embassies would be attacked on 9/11 and did nothing. Carney refuted the report today saying it is "false."
"We were not aware of any intelligence that an attack was imminent. That report is false," he said
But how would President Obama know if an attack was imminent when he missed a week of intelligence briefings before the attack?
Carney went on to say that "this is not a response to the administration, to the American people," but a response "to a film." He repeated the argument that the ongoing violent chaos in the Middle East is simply the result of "a film" at least five times….(they still love us?)
This statement clashes with intelligence showing the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya which left four Americans dead, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, was in fact a coordinated attack carried out by Al Qaeda or another terrorist group linked to Al Qaeda.
