2 American State Department Employees Killed in Libyan Consulate Attack; Cairo Embassy Stormed in Protest Over US Film
Two American State Department employees were killed in Benghazi, Libya after militants stormed the U.S. consulate, angry about an American made film that depicts Prophet Mohammad as a fraud and womanizer.
Anger over the film that some believe insults the Prophet Muhammad also provoked protests in Cairo Tuesday, where demonstrators climbed the walls of the U.S. embassy, took down the American flag and replaced it with a black flag.
A senior U.S. senior official told ABC News they are on alert throughout the region and fear there could be more attacks to come. One of the American State Department employees likely died of smoke inhalation Tuesday from the fire at the consulate, according to the U.S official.
The death of the second employee was confirmed Wednesday, according to the U.S. official. There is no word yet on how that employee died.
BBC Arabic service was informed by Libyan source that the US Ambassador to Libya was one of those killed in the attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
BBC broadcast news is that a “Libyan official” told them that US Ambassador to Libya John Christopher Stevens was killed in the attack by “militiamen” on the US Consulate in Benghazi. The situation is as yet unclear but some reports are that he was killed by rocket propelled grenade attack on a car attempting escape from the compound of the burning consulate. Some reports that three others were killed.
