This was my first thought on the matter... This was just a carried out plan.
GaDaffy sympathizers instigated this and used a bad cover "some obscure anti-muslim film" to further fuel the extremists.
This was an act of war (killing a nation's diplomatic envoys and ambassador) in the hopes of US retaliations against Libya. If lucky USA will cut diplomacy with the current government and maybe free the way back to power.
