Is fox news's Middle East and terrorism expert Wally -- Thank you so much for joining us usually seems like there's more and more evidence now that this had nothing to do with that movie but was in fact in organize -- That was tied to 9/11 what do you think.

Well basically if you look at the perpetrators now in Egypt and Libya of course in Yemen and it may grow as you said to multiple countries are known as this -- office.

It in each country to have different -- in Egypt on the allies of the Muslim Brotherhood president and fortunately did not stop them.

In Libya that not be allies of the government but they have al-Qaeda connections in Yemen.

They do also have a got a connection so now the United States.

And its allies including in the Arab world need to basically dismantle that network -- sell office because they are waging a war against American interests.

So the protests we're seeing today in Cairo while -- Plug guiding for -- because it seems like this anti American sentiment is just growing -- -- snowballing do you agree.

That's what the propaganda of the jihadist wants us to believe that these are -- civil society is rising against America because of a movie that is not the case.

He's now war rooms of networks that take people to the streets.

It's not that an individual wakes up and he's -- against American -- And so blocks against the embassy -- are organized networks.

Who basically wants to channel the anger in Egypt against the United States so the government of Egypt has -- duty basically to protect our interest in the region.

So you say now that that America have to disband this network it is that even possible -- -- how we go about doing that.

There are multiple stages stage number one the president of the United States and the executive power should call in contact president of Egypt and ask.

I'll tell you this is also troubling while lead.

Just last week we -- Following the events in Israel we know that Iran is so close to nuclear -- how unstable is the region and he could a lot of people called the attack that killed the investor in Libya an act of war.

-- how close are we -- being alarmist but.

To an actual break out of violence.

Where militaries are involved.

You are absolutely right this is an act of terror we have to expand it to the American people as it is it's not yet -- full fledged war.

That's basically indicates that more of these activities -- gonna happen.

The act in Libya and the acts in Yemen now are indicators that those -- Jihad is on the have to protect more than -- -- pack and leave we know they're gonna do more so we need to do now let's form a coalition.

What governments in the region civil society in the region and international coalition to begin in action against these summit this networks.
