#2 Iran is an "Islamic republic." The flavor of the theology doesn't count as long as holy men are in charge.

Even al-Azhar was gagging on that idea.

#3 2100-2140 local time. A 'mob' attacks the US consulate in Benghazi...The attack is reported as 'disorganized', but also appears to target specific areas...Walid Shoebat notes a translation of an Al Jazeera video taken during the Benghazi attack, where the attacker says, "Don't shoot, Mursi sent us".

From my notes on the Benghazi attack timeline, based on open sources.
