Ambassador's bodyguards also reported killed
Al-Jazeera has some more details of the consulate attack:

The ambassador was paying a short visit to Benghazi when the consulate came under attack on Tuesday night, Al Jazeera's Suleiman Idrissi reported from the eastern Libyan city.

He died of suffocation during the attack, along with two US security personnel who were accompanying him, security sources told Al Jazeera. Another consulate employee, whose nationality could not immediately be confirmed, was also killed.

Two other staffers were injured, Idrissi reported.

The bodies of the dead were transported to the Benghazi international airport, to be flown to Tripoli and then onwards to a major US airbase in Germany.


There are conflicting accounts of what happened in Benghazi. One of the demonstrators told the Libya Herald that the protest was entirely peaceful until the police and local security forces tried to end it by firing into the air. That angered the protestors who then turned on the police, the demonstrator claimed. One of them, he said, then went to his car, got out a rocket propelled grenade launcher and fired at a police vehicle. However, he missed and the RPG hit the building on Venezia Street instead.

Other witnesses give a very different account. One, a Benghazi bank official who did not want to be named, told the Libya Herald that the protestors were all Salafists who had turned up to the building intent on causing maximum damage, bringing guns and RPGs with them. He claimed members of the Islamist militia Ansar Al-Sharia were among them. He said that fierce clashes between them and security forces lasted for five hours. He confirmed that the protestors had got into the building.

According to him, the police guarding the office had allowed the protestors into the consulate. They then forced those inside to leave before trying to set the building on fire.

Again, utter violence in the name of Islam.

Muslims need to convene and find a solution to this their number one problem.

Rick9: yawa don gax. Oya. U. S start flying drones to Libya, thats what u know how to do bext.

Well, from what i see on the ground, soldiers are at alert.

Meanwhile, if you have any relative or friend in the North, tell them to watch their movement. Anything could erupt anytime.

Unfortunately, boko haram could capitalize on this to recruit more foot soldiers. This is what you get when religious dogmatism triumph Reason.

Welcome to the New Reality.

Re: US Ambassador Killed In Libya Consulate Attack by Nobody: 1:06pm On Sep 12, 2012
Arming Salafists with weapons is suicidal - these cavemen were protesting with RPGs and guns, same way the protest against Ghaddafi started... Ghaddafi has been vindicated - he held Libya together and put his foot in the arses of the Salafists, but the lure of oil made the West make the same fatal error they made in Afghanistan in the 80s. And they're still hell bent on making another one in Syria.... When will Saudi Arabia, the home of Salafists be attacked and destroyed And why are they allowing Muslim Brotherhood to run Egypt??

To be honest, the West is the one promoting Salafist ideology in the world by arming them and using them for regime change everywhere... It's just scary!!!

Jeez! When I saw them rioting in CNN while I was at work I mused in my mind "that whenever this kind of uproar stirs up that the passion can be on another level" only to read this now and realize that heads rolled after all. High time we all started seriously respecting one another's religion.

everything is not all about Nigeria
Its about how flawed the US policy was,anyway they went in for the oil,so am guessing the ambassador will just be a sacrifice and US will not raise any racket...
anything to protect the oil baby..
America will tread softly on Libiya on this one,the President of Libya will condemn the death and life will go on as usual..
Americans are the biggest hypocrites,nothing will happen i tell you guys

Da Vinci code[b][/b] that ridiculed Christianity was produced and even showed in cinemas around the world, no single arms was raised. The worst that happened were intellectual campaigns/debate and nothing more.

Why can't people allow God to fight His battle himself? This is annoying... and to think that innocents are the target... cry

I wonder why this islamist always mix religion with politics, was the US government or ambassador the producer of the movie? I even heard from algazera this morning that, it was not even a US Producer that produced the movie. Come to think of it, were ther no security ajents when all this wer hapning? Just Look at them! Jobless hypocrites who lack direction and comon sence
