US: Libya attack unrelated to anti-Islam film
US State Department officials on Tuesday offered their most detailed description yet of the dramatic events in Benghazi that led to the death of a US ambassador, but they backed away from earlier assertions that the events were triggered by protests against an anti-Islam video.
They described frantic and prolonged efforts to rescue Ambassador Christopher Stevens from a smoke-filled "safe haven" inside the US diplomatic compound in Benghazi where he apparently died of asphyxiation. (Reuters)
