It was an IED that went off at the Consulate in Benghazi. There are no hordes battling at the gates. Story here.

A military officer from Jordan explained to me the mindset of the Arab. He is mad because he has no school and no hospital. So a school and a hospital gets built. Then he gets mad because the price of fuel rises. He goes with his other mad cohorts and burns down the school and the hospital he wanted. So he ends up no better off for all his emotion.

Is this possibly associated with the tripoli airport incident yesterday? If is .... any American in libya is at risk, as was the case prior. The airport incident caused flights to be diverted to the military airport. Wonder if the military airport is open?

Thank you. "Under attack" sounds very different from a single IED. It's still bad news but at least it's accurate bad news.

Actually it is not an attack. It is merely the “freedom fighters” showing their appreication for their allies in the United States.

Simply amazing. NATO expended treasure to allow Daffy to be overthrown and taken out and the US embassy is attacked. To be 110% truthful, am not surprised. Dang fools in D.C. should have seen this one coming. A prayer ... all of the NATO embassies are on full alert. If are not on full alert, each needs to be placed on full alert (imho).

Seems the regular channels of MSNBC,CBS and ABC are all ignoring this story.

You described the (US) inner city mentality as well.
They burn down everything including their free public housing.

You should have seen Ed Schultz last night he was at tears when he had to convey the news that his little barnyard brigade of mindless sheepeople that were told to vote for the other guy didn't even come close to winning last night.

Why the hell do we have an Embassy there anyway? There is no real government to speak of. There is a typical gaggle of Islamic nomadic nutjobs who can only agree that they must kill Jews and Americans.

Perfect description of the same mindset of the #Occupiers here, most of the “entitlement” crowd, and many (so called peace loving) Liberals. If they don’t get everything they want...they set out to destroy everything there is.

A US Embassy office in the eastern city of Benghazi came under attack from an improvised explosive device (IED) late Tuesday, but nobody was killed in the attack.

“There was an attack late last night [late Tuesday night] on the United States office in Benghazi,” a US embassy official told AFP. The official added that one person was hurt in the attack.

The incident comes amid renewed unrest in Libya. On Monday, Libyan authorities forcibly regained control of Tripoli international airport after a militia of ex-rebels seized the tarmac and grounded flights.

The group was reportedly trying to gain information about its missing leader. The attack ended when the Transitional National Council (TNC) authorized the interior and defense ministries — who oversee a broad constellation of brigades made up of former rebels — to “use all means necessary, including force,” to retake the airport.

In WW1, the Turkish general in Iraq asked for a temporary truce so the Brits and the Turks could join forces to wipe out the Arabs. The Arabs were killing the wounded of both sides and stripping the dead.
