After the fall of Col. Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, Libyan tensions fired up, and embassies were abandoned. Then, on Sept. 11, 2012, heavily armed Islamist militants launched an organized attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi.

No it does not mean that. At all. Dead or alive, God is with me. And when He decides its time for me to go I’m gone.
What should have been said I’d God watched over me and my fellow
friends. But it wasn’t my time to go.
God watches out over believers.
Yes, and sometimes He calls them home.
