***UPDATE 2: PHOTO OF US AMBASSADOR’S BODY BEING HELPED BY LIBYANS?***

***CONTENT WARNING BELOW: GRAPHIC IMAGE***

This is horrible news:

REUTERS – The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on their car, a Libyan official said, as they were rushed from a consular building stormed by militants denouncing a U.S.-made film insulting the Prophet Mohammad.

Gunmen had attacked and burned the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, a center of last year’s uprising against Muammar Gaddafi, late on Tuesday evening, killing one U.S. consular official. The building was evacuated.

The Libyan official said the ambassador, Christopher Stevens, was being driven from the consulate building to a safer location when gunmen opened fire.

“The American ambassador and three staff members were killed when gunmen fired rockets at them,” the official in Benghazi told Reuters.

I saw on Fox News while writing this that the deaths have been confirmed by the Obama administration.

UPDATE: This is disgusting. The US Ambassador’s corpse dragged through the streets of Benghazi by these Islamic thugs:

UPDATE2: AFP is reporting that this is a photo of the US Ambassador being HELPED by Libyans, not being dragged through the streets as we previously reported:

Given that I don’t speak Arabic and the fact that Hillary Clinton said they were carrying him to the hospital in her statement a few moments ago, I accept this to be the case instead.

This article is ALL LIES the TRUTH is emerging by the day that with unclassified video PROOF of the Al Qaeda Terrorists Prowling around the embassy and not a protestor in sight all armed with AK47's and RPG's (rocket propelled grenades) for those of you who are clueless. HOURS BEFORE a single protestor showed up. We know now that ambassador Stevens was raped and tortured before the Terrorists murdered him. I am assuming the UNARMED Seals met an equal fate. I say Unarmed because it has also been determined they were not ALLOWED weapons nor ammunition even if they HAD weapons. It has also now been determined that Ambassador Stevens had contacted the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION at least TWO DAYS BEFORE THE ATTACK telling them of his concern of an emanate attack. This posses three questions #1...WHY DID'NT OBAM HAVE THE INTEL (intelligence) THAT AL QEADA WAS UP T NO GOOD IN LIBIYA? and #2...Knowing that OBAMA has NOT MET WITH HIS SECURITY COUNCEL FOR MONTHS NOW TO GET HIS DAILY BRIEFS ON SUCH ACTIVITY OF OUR ENEMIES WHY HE DID NOT ACT? #3...WHERE WAS OBAMA during the attack Rape, Torture and Murder of a man that RERESENTS THE PRESIDENT in a foreign country? Oh yeah he was CAMPAIGNING! Then to add insult to Rape Torture and Murder he tells an ADORING audience that HE HAD A BAD DAY THE DAY BEFORE EXPLAING THAT THE AMBASSADORE AND THREE OTHER BRAVE UNARMED AMERICANS Were killed spinning the SAME LIES as written in this article! Go ahead VOTE FOR THIS BASTARD LET HIM GUT OUR MILITARY SO YOU CAN GET YOUR TAXPAYER PAID FOR FREE CHEESE Because THAT IS WHAT YOU PEOPLE ARE "RATS"!!! I am DONE being called a NAZI, AMERICAN TALIBAN, RACIST, a man that HATES CLEAN WATER AND WANTS DIRTY AIR, THAT WANTS KIDS WITH AUTISUM TO FEND FOR THEMSELFS, That I am in a WAR AGAINST WOMEN and ALL THE OTHER BULLSHIT MADE UP LIES Told by you SOCIALIST PIGS! That’s right you are RATS AND SOCIALIST PIGS!!! You want a WAR with Conservatives NOW YOU HAVE ONE!! Family and Friends of MINE that VOTE FOR THIS DIRT BAG SOCIALIST ARE DEAD TO ME! Expect NO CIVILITY FROM ME FROM THIS DAY FORWARD I have NOTHNG BUT CONTEMPT and NOW full blown HATRED of ANYIONE SOCIALIST! The Democrat party is on the ash heap of History if you consider yourself one you are DELUSIONAL it has been HYJACKED BY THE EXTREEM LEFT, So do NOT TRY AND TELL ME YOU ARE A DEMOCRATE or a PROGRESSIVE that PIG DOES'NT FLY ANY LONGER!

I would like everyone to remember, and this an undisputed fact, that while, or shortly after this happened and before he new the fate of these people, Obama was in LasVegas at a fund raiser. He then flew home and went to sleep, while these Americans were actually missing for 5 hours. He still will not call this what it is or talk to the country about it. Is anyone disturbed by this. His policies or fu--Ed, he would rather cover his a--then speak the truth. He gives some bull---- speech about how there will investigate and the people will pay. Don't hold your breath, Obama seems to care more about protecting them then us or our people.

He looks to be dead already and the man behind him is taking things off his body.. The phone in his mouth and position of his hand tell me this. Also the pants pockets are inside out. Helping??? Nope..

God save this country and bless Ambassador Stevens.

I don't buy AFP's claim that these people were trying to help Stevens rather than dragging his dead body through the streets like a trophy. That seems like a very convenient story intended to soften things rather than present them as they actually were when this horrible crime was committed.

The death of Ambassador Stevens is a terrible loss to his family, his friends, his country and yes to the people of Libya, the country that he loved so much. May he rest in peace.

The Right Scoop was more than happy to report that the Libyans dragged his body through the streets of Bengahzi because that fit the right wing narrative that is being peddled today. In reality, those "horrid" Muslims are attempting to assist a man for whom they have much respect and whom they love for all that he has done for them.

By displaying this picture, The Right Scoop has dragged the dead body of Ambassador Stevens through the virtual streets of the world. Shame on them.

As for the half-wits posting their unintelligable nonsense, they would all do well to take a moment and get on their knees and weep for the loss of a human being who spent every day working for something bigger than himself. Ambassador Stevens believed in the inherent good in man. He will be missed.

Condolences to his family and friends.

That photo does nor appear to be Amb. Stevens. I pulled up a bunch of photos of the Amb. on Google and noticed immediately that the Amb. does not have a "widows peak" hairline as shown in the above photo. Also the Amb's. hair color is distinctly lighter, and he clearly parts his hair on the left.

It looks more like this is one of the attackers who was wounded in the gun battle with Libyan internal security forces and the State Dept. Security members, both of whom were fighting together in an effort to fend off the attack.

Gee...and what happened to our ambassador afterwards? Hilary Clinton is so full of sh*t and I will not believe anything that comes out of her mouth. This image is horrible.

Obama's reaction is a joke and he is a bigger embarrassment than Jimmy Carter.

I never had a problem helping other countries, but our charity has backfired numerous times at our detriment. We saved those very rebels who waged the attack against our embassy and how many times have we helped Egypt???

Instead of showing leadership, Obama heads over to Vegas to campaign. I'm sure he will make time to appear on one of those hip hop jive talking radio stations so that they can talk about important matters such as Kim Kardashian's a$$.

Romney and Ryan better swing hard on this one.

"Hillary Clinton said they were carrying him to the hospital in her statement a few moments ago, I accept this to be the case instead."

Sorry but I wouldn't accept anything out of the mouth of Hillary.

Remember her claiming to be dodging sniper fire during the democrat primaries? Well the Ambassador was actually fleeing from sniper fire and was killed.

There usually is not a lot to 'carry to the hospital' after a rocket attack.

I'm just a middle aged gal who among other things likes to read and comment on a The Right Scoop. But from what can muster this is why a sitting President shouldnt miss the majority of his Intelligence Briefings.

Actually, after further reporting, I think the assessment that you lined thru was the correct one. Obama's muslim sympathies are showing through again. They have no fear and believe we can be pushed because we have such a weak Commander in Chief.

Mike Barnicle on the MSNBC morning Joe stated that Reverend Terry Jones should be tried as an accessory after the fact for Ambassador's Steven's murder. Here is contact info for Barnicle if you want to personnally discuss this idiotic statement with him:

But our crazies aren't out killing people and burning stuff down. The craziest Christians we have are the Rev. Fred Phelps and his group. All they do is shout obscenities at people. Or the guy down in Florida who burns Korans.

It's like the Middle East folks can't control themselves when they whip themselves into a frenzy. They're barbarians plain and simple.

I've been thinking about this as I read down the comments... I decided that if almost any single one of us contributors to this great website were President... The reaction would be FIERCE and There would be NO doubt in the camel jockeys minds that if you F**k with us! We WILL MAKE you PAY!!! YOU F**K with the BEST? You DIE like the REST!

But sadly, none of us are... So we'll have to watch NObama issue another apology for the very fact that the USA exists and that Muslims everywhere were upset by that fact.

Man... If we don't defeat him in November... It's OVER. My heart breaks to say that, but it's the truth! FIGHT FIGHT!! Please FIGHT!! There is no dishonor in losing if you give it your all! You did what you could with what you had! You fought the good fight! You weren't one of the weasels! You can face your self in the mirror, your family, and God himself with confidence that you did what was asked, what was right, you did what you could!

We help free the Libyan people from their tyrant president Muammar Gaddafi. And this is the thanks we get the killing of our ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his staffers.

When is the United States ever going to understand that we will never get the respect or admiration from Islamic countries who view us as infidels (non-believers) and hold us in contempt. As long as Israel continues to be an allied of the United States. The US will always be hated, scorned and vilified.

When Americans are killed this president does NOT respond. Does anyone remember the innocent christians slaughtered off the coast of east Africa preaching the word? I do not remember the president saying a word about it. This man is Lucifer folks! There is a clear choice in this election and evil is on display!

Get our guys out of there and then carpet bomb the hole back to the 7th century where it so rightly belongs!

Arab Spring - Western Civilization's Autumn? Better not be! But I can see why NObama would fund and assist his Muslim brothers in every way he could to take over the world!

NObama has set back the war against the enemies of civilization in just 4 years than I can even imagine! He's empowered our enemies! Betrayed our Friends and allies!

And the polls still say he's neck and neck with Romney... How depressing is that? :-(((

In a SANE and JUST World, sDee, you would, or course, be so right! But this country is infected by a disease called Liberalism. And this country needs a CURE! Winning in November is just step 1... Kind of like the doctor giving you a few tablets... You know you are now on the long road to recovery... I wish we could take shortcuts... But with cancer, if you don't treat it right and eradicate it entirely, it will come back...
