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.

I agree that it’s a smokescreen. Now the US is trying to blame it on some YouTube video published by Terry Jones, the preacher who was going to burn a Koran. They want to blame anybody but a Muslim.
Sounds like admin and media bullcrap all right. Looks to me more like their way of celebrating the anniversary of 9/11.
Ok, what film are they protesting?
One more important question. How many of those stinking idiots raiding embassies attend movie theaters watching American movies?
2016: 0bamas America......
;^)
Summarizes the situation perfectly.
Repeating this because I couldn't say it better.
Where the HELL is he?
Obama and the State Dept have already apologized and accused others of abusing free speech. How dare someone criticize Islam, why they can’t they criticize Christianity like GLEE and the NEW NORMAL and everything else does?
lol.
This looks like it could develop into an opportunity, Defense/War is another one of those many topics that Romney is avoiding in the campaign.
If he keeps this up the debates may be too painful to watch. We may have to watch Honey-Boo-Hoo instead and that would be torture.
Hello, Obama - Have you arrested Reverend Terry for using his freedom of speech? Can you arrest everyone in Hollywierd for attacks on Christians at the same time??
Obama- Find the Man who did this..... and give him a billion dollar submarine
That was my first (albeit sarcastic) thought! LOL...
Why?
Where is he? Checking the direction of the wind. That’s his M O
Why don’t you add “Allah” in front of “kabar” as in
Allahkabar! My brother US Service Members are as holy to me as the 9/11 killers and the invaders of our Embassy are to you.
We have lost plenty of US civilian personnel serving abroard. Their loss is just as great as a service member.
My brother US Service Members are as holy to me as the 9/11 killers and the invaders of our Embassy are to you.
You are an idiot. I have put my life on the line a number of times for this country in and out of uniform. Don't ever compare me to the people who invaded our Embassy you jerk.
If you are what you say you are then why did you challenge my post with a “Why” and then start to call me names?
Calling me names does nothing for a valid argument.
Military is on high alert in the Middle East tonight, huh? One American killed, others injured....huh?
Well, it would be if we had a decent president.
I asked the simple question why to your statement, “Staff Member” had not better been at Marine Embassy Guard! Or for that matter ANY US Service Member!
Why should you value the life of a service member over someone who is serving their country in a civilian capacity? Is their life any less valuable or important?
Called you names? Who said, "Why don’t you add “Allah” in front of “kabar” as in Allahkabar! My brother US Service Members are as holy to me as the 9/11 killers and the invaders of our Embassy are to you.
You insulted me for asking the question why. You know nothing about me or why I even asked the question. You called me names and questioned my patriotism. FYI: I am who I say I am.
