US Consulate Burned, 1 American Killed, Libyan Security Forces Repulsed by Militia

In an attack very similar to one which happened just hours ago, in Egypt, a mob in Benghazi, Libya attacked the US consulate, Tuesday night.

The protesters set the building on fire, damaging most of it.

Luckily it was after hours and so few were present, but one American staff member has been killed.

Libyan security forces attempted to push the mob away from the remnants of the consulate, but were repelled by heavy fire from militia forces.

The mob supposedly was protesting the same film that the Egyptians were saying mocked the prophet Muhammad.

No one is sure what movie supposedly sparked the protest.

Both attacks were likely organized by members of Al Qaeda, as the US remembers the eleventh anniversary of the terrorist group's attack on September 11.
