Balozi wa Marekani auawa Libya

Balozi wa Marekani nchini Libya ameuawa baada ya kushambuliwa na watu waliokuwa wamejihami na kuvamia ubalozi wa Marekani Mashariki mwa mji wa Benghazi.Balozi J Christopher Stevens, ni miongoni mwa maafisa wengine wa ubalozi waliouawa kufuatia maandamano kuhusu filamu iliyotolewa nchini humo ikimkejeli Mtume Muhammad.

Idara ya mambo ya ndani nchini Marekani, imethibitisha tu kifo cha afisaa mmoja wa ubalozi huo ingawa bado haijataja jina lake.

Maandamano ya kupinga filamu hiyo pia yalifanyika mjini Cairo dhidi ya ubalozi wa Marekani.

Wakati huohuo, waziri wa mambo ya nje wa Marekani Bi. Hilary Clinton, amelaani mashambulizi hayo.

Serikali ya Libya imetaja shambulio hilo kama kitendo cha uoga.

Ubalozi huo uliteketezwa na watu waliojihami kwa bunduki kulalamikia filamu moja iliyotengenezewa nchini Marekani ambayo wanasema inamdhihaki Mtume Mohammed.

Wanamgambo hao wanaoripotiwa kuwa na ufungamano na kundi la waislamu wenye msimamo mkali walitumia maguruneti ya kurushwa kwa roketi kuvamia ubalozi huo kabla ya kuiteketeza. Maafisa wa Libya wameiambia BBC kwamba hali imetulia kwa sasa.

Machafuko hayo ya Libya yalijiri saa kadhaa baada ya maelfu ya waandamanaji kukusanyika nje ya ubalozi wa Marekani mjini Cairo kuelezea hasira zao kuhusu filamu hiyo kumhusu Mtume Mohammed.

Kwa wakati mmoja waandamanaji hao waliingia ndani ya ubalozi huo na kuichana bendera ya Marekani na kurejesha yao.

I am saddened by the tragic loss of life at our Consulate in Benghazi. Ambassador Chris Stevens was a wonderful officer and a terrific diplomat who was dedicated to the cause of freedom. His service in the Middle East throughout his career was legendary.My thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of all of the fallen. They will be sorely missed but never forgotten
