Hot Topic: Anti-American protests

Posted: Updated:
ATLANTA -

The recent attacks on the US embassies in Egypt and Yemen, as well as the death of four US citizens in Libya, including the US ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, has led to a crisis in the Middle East.

Here in the US, GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney slammed President Barack Obama for his handling of the situation.

The current administration has ordered security tightened at US embassies abroad, and has urged foreign governments to do there part to help.

Now there are reports that the attacks in Libya may have been part of a twin operation, that's according to the Associated Press.

The attackers were apparently protesting an anti-Islam film that was released in the US.

    They say the third time's a charm, and that's certainly the case for Candice Glover.  A third try on American Idol was just what she needed, and on Thursday night she was crowned the season 12 champ.
