US sends marines to hunt down killers of American envoy to Libya | | US President Barack Obama has dispatched a team of marines to Libya to hunt down the killers of American ambassador Chris Stevens. Obama vowed that "justice will be done" after Stevens was killed on Tuesday night by an Islamist mob in an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi. Three other Americans were also killed in the raid, which came on the anniversary of September 11. Obama's decision to dispatch 50 US marines came as suspicions grew that the attack was planned and carefully orchestrated, the Telegraph reports.
Obama confirmed that a US Marine anti-terrorist security team had been send to Libya to bolster security and aid efforts to find those responsible. "Make no mistake. Justice will be done. The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack," the report quoted him, as saying.
