BENGHAZI, Libya, Sept 12 (Reuters) - An American staff member of the U.S. consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi has died following fierce clashes at the compound, Libyan security sources said on Wednesday.
"One American staff member has died and a number have been injured in the clashes," Abdel-Monem Al-Hurr, spokesman for Libya's Supreme Security Committee, said, adding that he did not know the exact number of injured and could not say what the cause of death was.
Armed gunmen attacked the compound on Tuesday evening, clashing with Libyan security forces before the latter withdrew as they came under heavy fire. The armed group is said to have been protesting a film being produced in the United States.

Not that I disagree, but who is Mr. Pimp the Limp? ;^)
Yes, but it this case there is an alarming twist to the story - the US and NATO actively brought these people to power, and bombed Libya into submission.
Bingo.
LOL! Triple LOL!
Yes SV, it turns out to have been a matter of legitimate self-defense ...
The whole thing is a dead giveaway. Two embassy compounds attacked simultaneously, on 911, with the excuse of a phony movie. If this isn't Obama/Hillary, then it is Soros/Code Pink. Probably all the above.
The Oval Office..., where Leftist presidents go to mast—bate, and little else.
No doubt...
Our President began this day wise cracking and trading NFL trash talk with a S. Florida DJ named Mr. Pimp the Limp.
Are we going to lower our flags again, or are they still at half-mast?
But...they LOVE us now. Right?????

That “Staff Member” had not better been at Marine Embassy Guard! Or for that matter ANY US Service Member!
Did you hear Krauthammer on this tonite? He said the statement was embarrassing and we should have told them to go to hell.
It’s a rap show in Miami that Obama called in to, believe it or not. According to another Freeper, however, the DJ isn’t black, but is Cuban, votes GOP, and just happens to like rap and be a good presenter. Bambi talked about sports and sounded like the totally condescending synthetic so-b that he is.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..., thanks. Heavens this guy is awful.
Well now we have a American killed in a terrorist attack on the 9/11 anniversary. Barry can’t tap dance around this.
This film “motivation” is a total B.S. smokescreen. The film was announced in June. Why blow up today in Libya AND Egypt? 9/11 anniversary obviously.
I heard today at the SION conference that the people that did this were chanting OBAMA! OBAMA! outside of the embassy.
Is it the one about killing bin Laden? Or is it another muppet movie with Mohammed depicted as a dirty green hairy guy living in sin with Miss Piggy?
Has Barackward destabilized the ME?
