US Ambassador Christopher Stevens Killed During Embassy Violence In Libya

U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, and three staffers have been killed during an outbreak of violence at the American embassy complex, the White House and State Department have confirmed.

Mr. Stevens has a ten-year history of working in the region and was appointed to his post in Libya in May of this year after successfully working with the rebels during the conflict that removed Col. Gadhafi from power. Stevens’ State Department bio reads:

John Christopher Stevens, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service, served as Special Representative to the Libyan Transitional National Council from March 2011 to November 2011. Prior to this role, he was the Director of the Office of Multilateral Nuclear and Security Affairs.

“Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States,” President Obama said in a statement. “Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya’s transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.”

The news was first reported by Libyan officials who told outlets such as Reuters that the deaths occurred “when gunmen fired rockets at them.”

CNN anchors cited an unnamed source in Benghazi who claims to have witnessed rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) being fired into the complex last night. The source believed the Americans were fleeing the embassy attack when their car was hit by one of the RPGs.

A vehicle (R) and the surround buildings burn after they were set on fire inside the US consulate compound in Benghazi late on September 11, 2012. An armed mob protesting over a film they said offended Islam, attacked the US consulate in Benghazi and set fire to the building, killing one American, witnesses and officials said.

Al Jazeera News reports that Ambassador Stevens has died of “smoke inhalation,” although details are still emerging:

According t the Associated Press, Stevens was killed Tuesday night when he and a group of embassy employees went to the consulate to try to evacuate staff as the building came under attack by a mob [with] guns and rocket propelled grenades. The three Libyan officials who confirmed the deaths were deputy interior minister for eastern Libya Wanis al-Sharaf; Benghazi security chief Abdel-Basit Haroun; and Benghazi city council and security official Ahmed Bousinia.

It’s believed the attacks were a result of an anti-Muhammed movie in the United States sparked the outrage. The attack on the Benghazi consulate took place as hundreds of protesters in neighboring Egypt scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and tore down and replaced the American flag with a black Islamic banner.

Before Tuesday, five U.S. ambassadors had been killed in the line of duty, the last being Adolph Dubs in Afghanistan in 1979, according to the State Department historian’s office.

You can read the statements by President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on the attack and the ambassador’s death, below:

—

OBAMA:

I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America’s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.

I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.

On a personal note, Chris was a courageous and exemplary representative of the United States. Throughout the Libyan revolution, he selflessly served our country and the Libyan people at our mission in Benghazi. As Ambassador in Tripoli, he has supported Libya’s transition to democracy. His legacy will endure wherever human beings reach for liberty and justice. I am profoundly grateful for his service to my Administration, and deeply saddened by this loss.

The brave Americans we lost represent the extraordinary service and sacrifices that our civilians make every day around the globe. As we stand united with their families, let us now redouble our own efforts to carry their work forward.

—

CLINTON:

It is with profound sadness that I share the news of the death of four American personnel in Benghazi, Libya, yesterday. Among them were United States Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith. We are still making next of kin notifications for the other two individuals. Our hearts go out to all their families and colleagues.

A 21-year veteran of the Foreign Service, Ambassador Stevens died last night from injuries he sustained in the attack on our office in Benghazi.

I had the privilege of swearing in Chris for his post in Libya only a few months ago. He spoke eloquently about his passion for service, for diplomacy and for the Libyan people. This assignment was only the latest in his more than two decades of dedication to advancing closer ties with the people of the Middle East and North Africa, which began as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco. As the conflict in Libya unfolded, Chris was one of the first Americans on the ground in Benghazi. He risked his own life to lend the Libyan people a helping hand to build the foundation for a new, free nation. He spent every day since helping to finish the work that he started. Chris was committed to advancing America’s values and interests, even when that meant putting himself in danger.

Sean Smith was a husband and a father of two, who joined the Department ten years ago. Like Chris, Sean was one of our best. Prior to arriving in Benghazi, he served in Baghdad, Pretoria, Montreal and most recently The Hague.

All the Americans we lost in yesterday’s attacks made the ultimate sacrifice. We condemn this vicious and violent attack that took their lives, which they had committed to helping the Libyan people reach for a better future.

America’s diplomats and development experts stand on the front lines every day for our country. We are honored by the service of each and every one of them.

This is a breaking story. Updates will be added. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

These areas have been historically identified as soverign territory of the country being represented. This is an attack on American soil just as if it was here at home. This is an ACT OF WAR and must be treated as such. The Traitor in the White House will not have the balls to stand up to this and once more we will be seen by this radical bunch as weak and unable to defend ourselves. Wake up people before you are executed for not becoming a Muslim or for daring to have a different point of view.

  Act of war? Yep. But who started it?
  
  We have now conducted drone strikes in at least 6 countries, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, and now Somalia. So have we declared war on all of those countries? If so, then isn’t the Libyan response a retaliatory attack to our declaration of war?

  @Tommy,
  
  I’m fully aware of that. Absolutely. “these people” were and are Al Qaeda. Who did you think we were getting into bed with? We put our enemy in charge of a country for Pete’s sake. Did we really expect them to be nice? In fact haven’t we declared war on Al Qaeda? So if we are at war with them don’t you think they’d attack us? I have plenty of critical thinking skills. Our state department doesn’t. Neither do people who expect Al Qaeda to follow diplomatic laws after we put them in charge while at war with them.

  It can be seen as an act of war, but also as an attack by a mob wthout government sanction – and that is the potential exit door for the administration. It depends on how the Libyan government re-acts. If they move to decisively punish the perpertrators, which I doubt, then the US should react on a diplomatic level. If not, then a hardline response is required.
  
  In any event, Libya, and Islam, should receive a clear message that the principle of free speech is inviolate.
  
  Unfortunately, Mr Obama’s amateurish bumbling has emboldened civilisation’s enemies. This is now a time for some skillful, competent, and resolute leadership.
  
  What Mr Obama does next will be very revealing

  This is the thanks we get for helping those same clowns overthrow Kadhafi and his super oppressive regime.
  
  I haven’t seen the film which caused this but there is enough anti Christian and anti Jewish materiel floating around arab countries which should make us attack their embassys. We don’t because Americans, Europeans and others are CIVILIZED people. These Islamist radicals are argueably the most uncivilized people in the world.
  
  This is just another example in the litany of evidence that Islam is NOT the religion of peace that Obama claims it to be. These people are no less than barbarians.
  
  Just another reason to change the occupant, along with the laundry in the White House.

  But WHY did Obama pick Al Qaeda to support in Libya while “fighting” them elsewhere? Why was Gahdafi so bad that Al Qaeda is preferable to him? This didn’t just happen because we decided to fund a revolution.
  
  This is because Gahdafi was building and African monetary union that was gold backed and meant to control the distribution of African natural resources on the open market by not selling in dollars. Hence the US can’t print money without massive inflation. We picked Al Qaeda to run a country RATHER than to be honest with our own citizens and to be fiscally responsible.
  
  Always follow the money. Obama is a fascist @$$clown but we didn’t create Libya because we dig al qaeda…we did it to keep the great robbery going.

Gave an excuse why they can continue to do this. He can put 1000 military troops around every embassy in the world but that won’t keep them from doing the same thing.

  Don’t worry American’s Obozo has got this..He has already apologized repeatedly (on the hush hush Red phone) for the film. He understands that Al Qaeda in Libya had to take the US Ambassador and 4 others in the name of the Elihgh or Abdullah Mulllauhalalll. He (Obozo) is sorry, and he feel’s he got an A+ in the foreign policy dept. for evacuating Egypt (4 billion a year taker) embassy and just letting Al Qaeda take our Flag and Shred it and replace it with the Flag of Al Qaeda. We saved American lives by allowing Al Qaeda to take over our embassy on 911/12.
  
  Don’t worry though, the private sector is doing fine, because Obozo’s federal gov’t is going to purchase a billion Bibles and have a mass burning again to placate to Al Qaeda in Egypt and Libya.

  Roth has an excellent point. Our president is using drones to assassinate people in other countries. Whether or not these people deserve it is secondary to the fact that that is an act of war as well. Our president is eroding our standing overseas and is inviting these kinds of attacks on our people.
  
  He shows is disrespect for the sovereignty of other nations, inviting disrespect of ours.
  He assassinates people (including US citizens) but says violence isn’t the answer for others.
  And when attacks do come, he apologizes that others (and not himself) have offended them.

  There was no need to wage war on Libya. “We” acted like thugs for our European allies and their oil supplies. leading from behind started as a “no fly zone” enforcement and within 48 hrs ground targets were being struck. For all intents we helped arm Al Qaeda elements as they took over Libyan military caches to bolster the over throw of Gaddafi. For over a decade Gaddafi was toothless not ruthless. He had lost control over the western parts of Libya. Now Islamic radicals, by virtue of our help are now emboldened enough to turn on our embassies. And no one saw this coming?
  
  The blood of our lost ambassador is on the hands of both Obama and Clinton.

Are there those who will hate us and want to kill us no matter what we do? Of course! But let’s not pretend our “great” leaders past and present haven’t done bad things.

  @Rothbardian Since when did we declare war with them? They say that it is the movie 2016, isn’t it and they do not like it. Glenn warned us about the Arab spring how many years ago? This is so disheartening and I feel sick. They kill our representatives in our embassy and we don’t stand up and scream we are not going to take this anymore. At least it is not Bush’s fault, it is now Romney’s. And yes I have been around a loooong time and these are the meanest people I can remember. Sorry, I am going to have to answer to my God but I despise Hillary Clinton. And I am a woman.

  @Squid,
  
  Who’s rejoicing? That’s something you’ve cooked up. It’s horrific and shameful and those people are animals. BUT, you’re being naive if you think they all woke up one day and started hating the US. And they don’t hate us because we are free. They hate us because for 30 years we gave them Mubarak who tortured people to death and his police state rounded people up. THEN we went on TV and talked about freedom for all. THEN we bomb six different countries and kill civilians in the process.
  
  Seriously man, we aren’t freaking victims here. This is the game we chose to play. We set out to nationbuild. We got in bed with terrible dictators. We blow people up without due process and declaration of war and sometimes those are women and children. THEN we cast ourselves as the good guys. Then we give money to Al Qaeda to overthrow a dictator because he was a threat to the Fed’s printing press. Good Lord man, step outside of the initial anger and look at the chessboard we’ve created. If you don’t think that what we’ve done doesn’t make enemies then you aren’t too clever.

  Or, is your definition of rebut: to state something irrelevant to the person’s argument or to use some off-handed adjective to describe his argument derogatorily while ignoring/failing to respond to anything he says specifically?
  
  Do you have a take? Make a counter argument addressing what he says or go pound sand.

Obama will apologize for muslim terrorists having to waste armament on our Ambassador. Soon I expect his in the tank media, to proclaim that it is the same thing Jews did after watching “the Passion of Christ.” That Bush kept quite all the Christians that were killed by Jews.
We are the laughing stock of the world. Gutless, weak, and apologetic.

  I think that your disappointment in Mr Obama is causing you to go a bit over the top.
  
  Western nations, and even some of our enemies, still have the greatest respect for your nation. They know what the problems are, and who is taking little effective action to solve them.
  
  Don’t be too distressed; America is still respected and admired, and is still the acknowledged leader of the free world.
  
  A change of leadership will do wonders for your nation and, with your improving fortunes, the rest of us will also benefit. I believe that it is likely that Mr Obama will be summarily ejected from office by the electorate, and the usual diplomatic congratulaions to the new president will be particularly sincere and heartfelt.

  Nailed it, Gonzo. I was in the USAF in ’79 when Carter the ball less was in charge. He started the perception of the weakness of America as seen by our enemies. Especially how he handled the Iranian hostage crisis. Our people were released the day Regan took office partly because of Carter but mostly because the Iranians knew Regan was going to do something massive about it. This time, we have Owebowma the spineless ready to apologize. And I do not think the ******* are interested in taking hostages this time. It is way past time to smoke some camels and their lovers.

  I don’t know, but I don’t doubt you.
  
  I do know that in at least one country, they did not like Carter preaching human rights & running down their country. They lived under military rule, they brought in press clippings to school of things like a journalist who had died in police custody. They were upset about it. The journalist had a closed casket funeral even though his wife wanted an open casket funeral. These were the kids of rich people. They wanted their to fix their own country without preachy Carter telling them how.
  
  The 1st 2 or 3 years Carter ran down the military. If you look at military spending Carter, Clinton, & Obama have run down the military. Under Obama it might being going up because of the wars but the underlying structure is being hollowed out.

  Qur’an 47:35 So do not be weak and do not call for peace when you have the upper hand. And Allah is with you, and he will not leave from you [for] your work.
  
  Qur’an 5:51 O you who believe, do not take the Jews and the Christians as friends. They are friends to each other. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely, Allah does not guide the unjust people.
  
  Hadith Bukhari: V4B53N386 “Our Prophet, the messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says, ‘Whoever amongst us is killed as a martyr shall go to paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.’”

We need a body count…a big one….and a promise to do it again if they think about screwing with us. If they aren’t going to like us they better fear us. They don’t right now.

  I have respect. I read his biography. I do not doubt that the ambassador voted Democrat. But I read his resume & it was solid for college education to law school to several years as a trade lawyer & so on.
  
  I respect someone, who is a trade lawyer for several years who enters the Foreign service of the State Department & works his/her way up more, than a campaign-bundler who gets appointed ambassador.
  
  There is a need for people who understand trade law when we get in to economic disputes with other countries.
  
  I can see arguments bother ways for appointments. I could maker an argument for why campaign bundlers should get appointed ambassador It is along the line of mandarins running things & all having the same mindset (like the NYT press room) & basically frustrating & negating a president’s policies & waiting him out.
  
  I am hitting & denigrating the trolls not the ambassador. They were out there when it was the flag being burnt int the early stories. The Troll Dora Glasberg comes to mind. I believe the trolls & the people they elect are to blame for the ambassador’s death. They enable people like Obama & Carter
  
  Obama & Carter make us a paper tiger. It sets the tone. It makes us weak,. This is the result.

We should be mad at the Tea Party or the leftist filmmaker, but don’t get mad about more blood on the hands of Al Qaeda. Might as well go ahead and apologize to the New Black Panthers for their voter intimidation and say thank you may we have some more. This is flat out ridiculous and laughable foreign policy.

“Well, Senator Warner…. how’s that Arab Spring working out for you now? You once wrote me about how “inspiring” it was for you with all those Egyptians demanding “democracy” when I raised my concerns to you and that fool in the WH was supporting it. Do you still find it inspiring having our flag ripped down in our embassy, a black flag raised in its place while radical islamists jump around yelling “God is great”?

  I have had several occasions to interface with Marine guards at several of our embassies. The only reasons that there weren’t many casualties amongst the thugs that invaded sovereign U.S. territory is because they were ordered not to open fire on them and not from a lack and the means to defend the embassy. Don’t blame the Marines, blame the State Department wonks who gave them their orders.

And so the next round of the Caliphate Arising commences around the Middle East no thanks to the Obama administration. We should immediately pull our embassy out of Libya/Egypt, cut off all funding for them and freeze or seize all of the respective governments assest.

Also fire Obama this November, this is one more consequense of the Arab Spring whirlwind we are due to harvest that he has sewn for the nation.

  Amen. Obama has brought us MORE war, not less. Nobel Peace Prize…to the biggest liar and destroyer of America EVER. God help us and Bless the souls of the Americans in Lybia. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. They’re all crazy with wars and hate over there. What a swamp of evil.

  I saw we unilaterally disarm by deploying our nuclear arsenal and make this region the parking lot they deserve to be. God Bless America, I pray we survive the next 4 months. This POS needs to be arrested and tried for Treason! Waiting to see if the GOP has anything to say. Congress should declare this an act of WAR, even if our supposed President won’t. Anyone still considering voting for this AH is either mentally challenged or the enemy within. Lookout America, Civil War is coming….be prepared!

  I think we could come up with more than two countries in which to pull our embassies don’t you?

  If Ron Paul said pull our diplomats out of these countries he would be called an isolationist.

  Don’t you love Obama? He is so cool. He is hip. He is going to appear on Letterman.
  
  That is much more important than worrying over a dead U.S. ambassador.

Well, this can’t be a good omen of things to come.
