Obama condemns attack

President Obama is condemning the "Outrageous attack" on the diplomatic mission in Libya that led to the deaths of four Americans, including ambassador Chris Stevens. "I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe," Obama said in the statement released by the White House.

The attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens was planned by attackers who used the protest outside the consulate as a diversion, U.S. Sources say.

The sources could not say whether the attackers instigated the protest or merely took advantage of it, and they say they don't believe Stevens was specifically targeted. Stevens and three other Americans suffocated trying to escape a fire after a grenade was thrown into the building, a senior U.S. Official said.

London terror analysts speculated that Stevens was the victim of a targeted al Qaeda revenge attack. The assault "Came to avenge the death of Abu Yaya al-Libi, al Qaeda's second in command killed a few months ago," the analysts said. Ref. CNN

Comments: There was more news and opinions about why the US ambassador was killed, it was beecause he was acting as an arm of the government because the US cannot come outright and say they are taking over a country so they do it in the background. Anyway the people in politics were angry about having a puppet government with a US ambassador that rules things representing a country that like to make fun of their religion.
