Libya Ambassador Dead

The capture of an alleged leader of the deadly 2012 attacks on Americans in Benghazi, Libya, gave US officials a rare moment of good news. Now, they are preparing to try the captured Libyan in the US court system and pledging to double down on catching others responsible for the deaths of the US ambassador and three other Americans in the attacks.

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Friday accused the vice president of "doubling down on denial" over the deadly invasion at the U.S. Consulate in Libya, leaving the White House to defend its handling of the attack that killed its ambassador and three other Americans.

The chief of US intelligence has rejected criticism over how spy agencies responded to a deadly attack on diplomats in Libya and said there was no clear warning before the onslaught.

Libya's interim president, Mohammed el-Megarif, suggested on Sunday that al-Qaida was behind the deadly assault on the US consulate in Benghazi, which claimed the life of the US ambassador.

A demonstrator was killed and 25 people hurt in clashes with police on Friday after an angry crowd of Islamists set fire to a KFC restaurant in northern Lebanon, a security source said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday the Middle East region was at risk of descending into "chaos" following a deadly attack on the US mission in Libya and violence in Egypt and Yemen.

Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi on Thursday condemned the attack on Libya that killed the American ambassador and vowed to protect foreign embassies in Cairo, where police were using tear gas to disperse protesters at the US mission.

Demonstrators attacked the U.S. embassies in Yemen and Egypt on Thursday in protest at a film they consider blasphemous to Islam and American warships headed to Libya after the death of the U.S. ambassador there in related violence earlier in the week.

Republican challenger Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama's administration on Wednesday of showing weakness in the face of tumultuous events that left four U.S. diplomats dead in the Middle East and jolted the race for the White House. Obama retorted that his rival "seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later."

US President Barack Obama vowed on Wednesday that the United States would "work with the Libyan government to bring to justice" those who killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American personnel in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi.
