[DMartel]

Al Jazeera - The US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, has died from smoke inhalation in an attack on the US consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, the country's interior ministry and security sources have said.

An armed mob attacked and set fire to the building in a protest against an amateur film deemed offensive to Islam's Prophet Muhammad, after similar protests in Egypt's capital.

The ambassador was paying a short visit to the city when the consulate came under attack on Tuesday night, Al Jazeera's Suleiman El-Dressi reported from Benghazi.

While not usual here, topic locked to prevent problems.

Just let me add that the first religious person who wished to express that computer games lead to violence should look very closely at his own books.

DMartel has sent this link to show that not everyone in Lybia supports violence. As such things are usually kept out of publicity, I am happy to add it.
