The US ambassador to Libya has died after an attack by militiamen on the US consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi, Libyan officials say.

Ambassador Christopher Stevens is said to be among four US officials killed in a protest over a US-produced film that is said to insult the Prophet Muhammad.

US media quote US officials confirming the ambassador's death. But there is no comment from the state department.

Protesters have also attacked the US embassy in Cairo over the film.

It's like the good old days when Jimmy Carter was president.

Has obama apologized yet for those men getting in the way of the protesters weapons?
I expect not only an apology from him, but the U.S needs to reimburse the protesters for their expenses.

Well sort of... Obama supports his protestor brethren.

Obama just taken foreign policy off the table and handed credibility to Mitt who has otherwise done nothing to earn it.

"I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi," the Republican presidential candidate said in a statement.

"It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathise with those who waged the attacks."

The US diplomat was killed when an armed mob attacked the consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi hours after some 3000 demonstrators scaled the walls of the US embassy in Cairo and tore down the US flag.

The demonstrations, which erupted on the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, were motivated by outrage over a video deemed offensive to Islam that was posted on the internet.

The US embassy in Cairo issued a statement earlier on Tuesday condemning "the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims, as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions".

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issued a sharper statement later, saying there was no excuse for the violence.

It's not good when the only set of balls in the administration wears a skirt.
