U.S. Mission in Libya's Benghazi Attacked
The premises of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi came under attack during the night but there were no casualties, embassy and security sources told Agence France Presse on Tuesday.
"There was an attack late last night on the United States office in Benghazi," a U.S. embassy official said, adding that one was hurt.
He added the embassy was hit by an improvised explosive device.
A security official in Benghazi said the attack was claimed by the Prisoner Omar Abdelrahman Group, which left a letter "threatening American interests" in the North African nation.
