Car Bomb in Libya Marks One-Year Anniversary of US Ambassador Death

Friday, September 20, 2013

An attack resulting in the death of the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans on September 11, 2012 was plagued this year with a car bomb exploding outside the building that once housed the US consulate in Benghazi.

Fortunately there were no casualties, but the Libyan Foreign Ministry building suffered one wall being blown out. A Ministry statement condemned the attack calling it a “cowardly terrorist act aimed at attacking the sovereignty of the state and creating an image of chaos.”
