WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States on Sunday condemned attacks on embassies in Libya's capital, a day after officials said a NATO missile strike had killed one of the sons of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.
"We have seen reports indicating that British, Italian and U.S. diplomatic facilities in Tripoli have been attacked," U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner said. "If true, we condemn these attacks in the strongest possible terms."
Toner added: "The Vienna Convention requires that the Gaddafi regime protect diplomatic missions in Tripoli. By failing to do so that regime has once again breached its international responsibilities and obligations."
Vandals attacked embassies in the Libyan capital Sunday, prompting the United Nations to pull its international staff out of Tripoli.
A Libyan anti-Gadhafi activist who toured Tripoli described scorch marks outside the U.S. Embassy's windows and a green Libyan flag draped over the roof on one side. The windows in the guard shack at the entrance were smashed, said the activist, who spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.
The U.S. evacuated its diplomatic staff at the start of the Libyan crisis, leaving Turkey to represent American interests in the country.

"We have seen reports indicating that British, Italian and U.S. diplomatic facilities in Tripoli have been attacked..."

The windows in the guard shack at the entrance were smashed... The U.S. evacuated its diplomatic staff at the start of the Libyan crisis, leaving Turkey to represent American interests in the country.IOW, a vacant building was vandalized after NATO murdered some children. Politically, that bombing gave Gaddafy what he'll need to survive.
The US administration has long ago crossed the line between insanity and sheer, rabid fascism. So have the leaders of Londonistan.
Next, they’ll be trying for an attack on Russia, backing the Chechens.
And I condemn Obama attacks on Libya!
Send that commie/muslim sob obama to Libya and let him do what he wants by himself! Low-life coward!
