Rocket attack kills US ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff in protest over anti-Islam film

The US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens,along with three other embassy staff, were killed on Tuesday following a rocket attack in Benghazi, Reuters quoted a Libyan official as saying.
It is not yet clear whether the ambassador was in his car or the consulate in Benghazi during the attack.
"The US ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets at them," the official in Benghazi told Reuters.
On Tuesday, an armed mob attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi and set fire to the building in protest over a film they said offended Islam.
Following the attack, there were reports that a member of the American consulate staff had been killed in the attack.
The assault came following a protest on the same day in Cairo, where thousands gathered at the US embassy and took down the American flag to condemn the anti-Islam film.
