On Tuesday, Libyan militants killed four Americans and burned down the US consulate in Benghazi, and an angry mob attacked the embassy in Cairo, Egypt.
The groups waved Al Qaeda flags and chanted Al Qaeda slogans.
Their spokesmen stated that they were protesting a film which mocks the prophet Muhammad.
It took awhile for the film to be identified, but it's now been discovered to be one called "Innocence of Muslims".
The two hour film made by Sam Bacile, who lives in California and describes himself as an Israeli Jew, was funded by more than a hundred Jewish donors, and cost five million dollars to make.
In various trailers, a badly amateur cast portrays Muhammad in a rather unflattering light, to make an understatement.
Apparently not even all of those who funded it bothered to see it, in it's one nearly empty showing, earlier this year.
Bacile has now gone into hiding after the attacks.
