The death of the US ambassador, Christopher Stevens, was reported by Reuters, who had spoken to a Libyan official. It had not been confirmed.

It was not clear if the ambassador was in his car or the Libyan consulate when the attack occurred.

"The Libyan ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets at them," the official in Benghazi told Reuters.

Damn. seems just like yesrerday they were begging for, and got, U.S. $$ and military support. Shit was all good just a week ago.

I'm sorry, but after the Iranian hostage situation WHY would anyone stay while political turmoil is going on?!?

Wasn't something like this the premise for "Clear and Present Danger?"

Edit: Ok, they're saying now that they were on their way to evacuate the consulate when their convoy fell under a rocket attack.
Apparently these militants were incensed about a negative portrayal of Islam in a film made by a Jewish director based here in Hollywood!

 

[Drayonis]

Syria can forget about that help now. Give Libya support and this is what you get in return.

The two diplomatic outposts had been the site of violent protests on Tuesday evening, as fundamentalist mobs swarmed in rage over rumors about an unreleased American film -- promoted in part by the Koran-burning preacher Terry Jones -- that supposedly projected the Prophet Muhammad in a harshly critical light.


These crazy ass christian fundamentalists are dangerous and in this case caused a death with their blasphem.

 

[Deacs]

An attack on American soil? By an Islamic group?

So they were escaping when their means of escape was blown to smithereens.

Well, they did want to promote violence in the region by removing their leader, well, crows... home... roost...

Glad there's another thread. I will delete the one I started.

BTW:


Info on the movie: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocence_of_Muslims

The independent film was produced and directed by Sam Bacile, a 56 year-old Israeli-American real estate developer. He identifies himself as an Israeli Jew and is hiding now.[2] According to Bacile, he produced the film to call attention to what he perceived were the "hypocrisies" of Islam.[3] According to Ynet, Bacile said he raised $5 million from about 100 Jewish donors, whom he declined to identify. Working with about 60 actors and 45 crew members, he said he made the two-hour movie in three months last year in California.

The film has been promoted by Dr. Terry Jones, the Florida pastor whose burning of Qurans previously sparked deadly riots around the world, who said Tuesday that he planned to show a 13-minute trailer that night at his church in Gainesville, Florida. "It is an American production, not designed to attack Muslims but to show the destructive ideology of Islam," he said in a statement. "The movie further reveals in a satirical fashion the life of Muhammad."[2]

In July 2012, a 14-minute excerpt from the English-language film was posted on YouTube. By September the movie had been dubbed into Arabic, by which time it had attracted the attention of Muslim leaders who criticized the film's depiction of Muhammad.[4] The Daily Telegraph reported that it portrayed Muhammad as an advocate of pedophilia and a homosexual, showing him having sex.[5]

And you wonder why there was mass outrage.

Funny thing is he was at the forefront in Benghazi fighting against Ghaddafi. Ghaddafi is laughing in his grave.

call me what you want, but a few get back bombs need to go off imo, killing America ambassadors over a bullshit video, is ridiculous

Islam can be beautiful, but they sure have some, that take shit way too far.


Americans spend money and all kinds of resources to back your fake liberation, and then you say thank you in this manner.

and that picture, Damn that shit looked crazy

Obama has some tough decisions to make

Israel is talking shit

Libya just killed four Americans

teachers union in his home state are striking over the increased use of standardized test scores to rate teachers (of course getting poor Black kids the most)

libya didnt kill anyone.

terrorists in libya did.

and somebody tell me if im wrong but i think more people have been killed in the name of christianity than any other religion in history.

That photo is crazy...and talk about deja vu. Barely a year ago, Ghaddafi was in that same pose when he was murdered. Now the man who helped orchestrate his downfall meets the same fate.

Roost they do. Them chickens.
