U.S. Ambassador Rice stands with administration in saying anti-Muslim video sparked violence Sep 16th 2012, 13:24 Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, on Sunday backed up the Obama administration's position that the violence last week directed at more than 20 U.S. posts in the Middle East is the result of an anti-Muslim video, not America's foreign policy. "What sparked the violence was a very hateful video on the Internet," Rice said on "Fox News Sunday." "It was a reaction to a video that had nothing to do with the United States." Rice also said federal agents are investigating the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Rice said right now officials have no solid evidence the attack was "pre-meditated or pre-planned." She said the investigation is ongoing, but the best information is that protesters in Libya, on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, were following an attack on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. Rice said "extremists" arrived with heavy weapons, but "we don't see any signs this was a pre-meditated, pre-planned attack."
