The interim Libyan leader has vowed to disband all illegal militias in the aftermath
of the US ambassador's death this month. Mohammed Magarief said that all camps and
militias not under the authority of the government would disband.
US Ambassador
Christopher Stevens and three others Americans died during an attack on the city's
US consulate on 11 September, which coincided with protests over an anti-Islam video
produced in the United States.
One powerful militia in eastern Libya has already
announced it will disband and leave its bases near Benghazi.
Meanwhile, schools
and businesses are closed and transportation has been disrupted across Bangladesh
as hard-line Islamic groups protesting the anti-Islam video enforced a general strike.
Thousands
of security officials have been deployed in the capital, Dhaka, to try to avert violence.
