Reports of Benghazi Attack[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Reports of an attack in Benghazi that has resulted in the deaths of the Ambassador and 3 other embassy officials. Al Jazeera: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/09/20129112108737726.html Reuters: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/09/12/uk-libya-usa-attack-idUKBRE88B0ED20120912

Also appears that this page was out of date anyway, according to the Embassy website, the Ambassador is J. Christopher Stevens: http://libya.usembassy.gov/principal.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davoloid (talk • contribs) 09:40, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WAs Ambassador Stevens raped, tortured, and/or murdered? Seems that others have a different perspective on his cause of death. Here you show that it was "smoke inhalation" as stated by all TV sources/outlets. The Lebanese report is telling a different story. Time to dig a bit deeper on what is factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.153.70.231 (talk) 23:50, 21 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't this comment, "The embassy of Hungary in Tripoli acted as the protecting power for U.S. interests from the closure of the embassy until its reopening on September 22, 2011." end with "in Benghazi"? Since the embassy had been in Tripoli prior. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.205.30.247 (talk) 13:59, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding: The U.S. Embassy in Tripoli was closed and all diplomatic personnel were evacuated on February 25, 2011, due to the Libyan civil war.[6][7][8][9] The embassy of Hungary in Tripoli acted as the protecting power for U.S. interests from the closure of the embassy until its reopening on September 22, 2011.[10][11]

On July 15, U.S. Secretary of State Clinton announced that the U.S. Government recognizes the Libyan rebel National Transitional Council as the “legitimate governing authority” of Libya—which de facto withdraws recognition from the Gaddafi government.[12][13][14] On September 12, 2012 the US ambassador to Libya was killed in an attack on the Benghazi consulate, along with three other embassy employees.[15]

I'd like to make a suggestion for revision: On February 25, 2011,the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli was closed and all diplomatic personnel were evacuated due to the Libyan civil war.[6][7][8][9] The embassy of Hungary in Tripoli acted as the protecting power for U.S. interests from the closure of the embassy until its reopening. On July 15, U.S. Secretary of State Clinton announced that the U.S. Government recognizes the Libyan rebel National Transitional Council as the legitimate governing authority of Libya—which de facto withdrew recognition from the Gaddafi government.[12][13][14] On September 22, 2011, the embassy reopened.[10][11]

On September 12, 2012, a mob attacked and burned the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi and killed 4 U.S. officials: Sean Smith, J./John Christopher Stevens, Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty.[15] ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.205.30.247 (talk) 13:28, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
