Another 9/11 Attack.US Ambassador Killed In Consulate Attack In Libya.

U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens was killed when Libyan militants stormed the U.S.consulate in Benghazi Tuesday night.

Stevens, 52, died as 20 gun-wielding attackers descended on the U.S. consulate, firing automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, Libya's Deputy Interior Minister Wanis al-Sharif told a news conference in Benghazi.

Nearly a dozen Americans were inside the consulate at the time, guarded only by Libyan security. For nearly 20 minutes the Libyan guards exchanged fire with the attackers, who hurled a firebomb inside.

The militants burned down at least one building in the attack. It's not clear whether Stevens was killed by smoke inhalation or was in a car, which may have been hit by a mortar, as he tried to escape.

Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith died from smoke inhalation during the attack.

Two more Americans, possibly guards who were trying to get Stevens out of the area, were also killed. U.S. officials are still making next of kin notifications, according to a statement from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
