Libya’s Deputy Prime Minister Mustafa Abu Shagur said the U.S. ambassador to the country, Christopher Stevens, was killed during an attack on the consulate in Benghazi yesterday.
"I condemn the cowardly and criminal act that the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was subjected to and the killing of the ambassador and his companions," Abu Shagur said on his Twitter account.
The death of the ambassador was reported by Sky News Arabia, citing unidentified people. The channel said three other people were killed. The State Department confirmed a diplomat’s death without identifying the victim.
