NEW YORK, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Libyan President Mohamed Magarief said Wednesday the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was pre-planned, not a reaction to an anti-Muslim film.
Speaking on the NBC "Today" show, Magarief discounted claims the movie, produced in California and available in part on YouTube, provoked the burning of the consulate on Sept. 11, saying the film had "nothing to do with" the attack.
