10 Libyan Guards Killed Defending Americans

[High_Gravity]

Libyan security guards were killed and wounded trying to defend US Ambassador Chris Stevens during the attack in Benghazi in which the US diplomat died, a Libyan UN envoy said Wednesday.

Ibrahim Dabbashi, Libya's deputy UN ambassador, told reporters that up to 10 Libyan security personnel were casualties of the attack on Tuesday. "Some of them have been killed at the start of the attack," he said.

UN Assistant Secretary General Jeffrey Feltman told the UN Security Council he had "seen reports that Libyan security personnel were also killed" in the attack.

Stevens was among four US diplomats killed in Benghazi by a mob who stormed the US consulate after allegedly being angered by a movie mocking Islam.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also hinted at the role played by Libyan guards.

"Heavily armed militants assaulted the compound and set fire to our buildings. American and Libyan security personnel battled the attackers together," Clinton said in Washington.

Dabbashi said he did not have an exact number for the Libyan guards who were hit. He paid an emotional tribute to Stevens, who was sent to Libya as opposition forces battled former dictator Moammar Qaddafi.

"The ambassador was a friend of Libya. He was always shoulder-to-shoulder with us when we had to face murder and destruction during the reign of the despot," the Libyan envoy said

Not like the Libya government did nothing to protect Americans.

Leaving our security up to somebody else is a recipe for disaster.

Entrusting Muslims to guard a US Ambassador was a fucking joke.

Can't secure the whole world for Americans.

You fucken dumb-ass!!!

We're not talking about the world......simply our embassies.

How can you be this fucken stupid??????

They are having enough trouble getting people to fight in Afghanistan, plenty of chickenhawks just not enough fighters.

You seriously don't know what you're talking about.

Almost all of 101st is back home. Most of the Marines were pulled out of Iraq and sent home. We have plenty of forces to protect our diplomats. If we didn't they should just bring them home.

I've read and seen a lot about the ambassador these last two days. From all accounts he was beloved by the people of Benghazi and worked hard at making himself part of the community. My heart goes out to his family.

It's a made-up link. If it were true then it'd be widely reported and well known. Not to mention, HC would have announced it in her announcement.

MSNBC did a very good story honoring his life and his heroic effort in Libya.

No, you don't.

Didn't you hear: an attack on Iran will require twice as many troops as Afghan and Iraq operations combined?!

Did US have respect for the dead when it was displaying pictures and videos of the murder of Gaddafi?!

As to your question, the ambassador got what he fully deserved for his part in the war against Libya. And what is most pleasing, -- he got it at the hands of those he helped to bring to power.

All US Embassy are considered US soil. I heard that the Libyan security forces pointed out the American to the attackers. Who knows what the real story is
