The US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, has died from smoke inhalation in an attack on the US consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, security sources have told Al Jazeera.
(excerpt)
The ambassador was paying a short visit to Benghazi when the consulate came under attack on Tuesday night,

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,

“Before Tuesday, five U.S. ambassadors had been killed in the line of duty, the last being Adolph Dubs in Afghanistan in 1979, “
I guess the Islamic nutjobs didn’t get Sparky the Wonder Prez’s memo about commerating 9/11 through volunteer activities in their community.
What came from this administration was an absolute tragic farce on the world stage when the Egypt embassy took responsibility by apologizing for a film our government did not produce and then undercutting free speech on the world stage. Compare that to Romney's statement condemning the attacks in a statement that was carefully worded and you a world of difference.
At this point, without waiting to see how this day plays out, your remarks are so far off base it reflects badly on you.
Libyan Deputy Prime Minister Mustafa Abushagour...
“I condemn the cowardly act of attacking the U.S. consulate and the killing of Mr. Stevens and the other diplomats,” said Mr. Abushagour. “This is an attack on America, Libya and free people everywhere.”
I blame Obama

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

The White House just confirmed the death of the Libyan Ambassador with a statement issued by Zero. We all know it was penned by some low level lackey and not Zero. Heck he is not even up at this ungodly hour of 7:40 am Eastern!
Bump!
He’d better be out in the Rose Garden making a statement by 9am or he’ll damage his campaign.
Posting false accusations again, I see. Romney was already responding before the attacks escalated into more deaths.
“I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi,” Romney said. “It’s disgraceful that the Obama Administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”
Correction, another American killed....FSO Sean Smith
Concern about his campaign will be his primary, if not only, concern. That and blaming the filmmaker and, of course, apologizing.
“Concern about his campaign will be his primary, if not only, concern”
That goes without saying
We need to pull our people out and put a radioactive crater in Benghazi. That is a lesson that will stick with bastards and all of the ME.
We also need to hang this around Obama’s neck. He’s the one who, against the will of Congress, attacked Libya in support of the savages.
I was thinking about Blue Lancers reference to the dreaded “Mericans” last night.
Thank you so much for posting this.
Let’s roll!

The military assault against the US Consulate in Benghazi should not be seen as part of a protest against a low budget film which was insulting Islam – there were just a few peaceful protesters present at the event. Indeed, there have been no other demonstrations regarding this film in Libya.
We at Quilliam believe the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi was a well planned terrorist attack that would have occurred regardless of the demonstration, to serve another purpose. According to information obtained by Quilliam – from foreign sources and from within Benghazi – we have reason to believe that the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi came to avenge the death of Abu Yaya al-Libi, al-Qaeda’s second in command killed a few months ago.
The reasons for this are as follows:
24 hours before this attack, none other than the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, released a video on Jihadist forums to mark the anniversary of 9/11. In this video, Zawahiri acknowledged the death of his second in command Abu Yahya and urged Libyans to avenge his killing.
According to our sources, the attack was the work of roughly 20 militants, prepared for a military assault – it is rare that an RPG7 is present at a peaceful protest.
According to our sources, the attack against the Consulate had two waves. The first attack led to US officials being evacuated from the consulate by Libyan security forces, only for the second wave to be launched against US officials after they were kept in a secure location.
The weak security environment in Libya including in Benghazi and the failure of the government to project its power outside of the capital have been used as a cover for the attack
And this just in: CNN BREAKING - THE ATTACKERS IN LIBYA PLANNED THE ASSAULT IN ADVANCE, USED THE PROTESTS AS COVER, U.S. SOURCES TELL CNN
