Libya: Foreign Elements May be Behind Benghazi Attack
Libya's assembly head, Mohammed al-Megaryef, said on Saturday that foreign elements could be involved in the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in the coastal city of Benghazi.
"There are non-Libyan elements on Libyan soil and they plan to carry out their own agendas on our territory," the General National Congress president told Agence France Presse in an interview.
U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed on Tuesday when suspected Islamic militants fired on the consulate in the eastern Libyan city with rocket-propelled grenades and set it ablaze.
