U.s. Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens | featured news

The father of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, who was killed in an attack on the consulate in Libya last month, says his son's death shouldn't be made into a political football in the presidential race.

The attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other American diplomats in Benghazi, Libya, may have been planned and organized in advance, U.S. government officials said on Wednesday.

President Obama vowed that "justice will be done" in response to the attack in Libya that took the life of American ambassador Christopher Stevens. Joined by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for a statement in the Rose Garden Wednesday morning, Obama said the killing of Stevens and three other Americans will not "break the bonds" between the U.S. and Libya.

J. Christopher Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was killed Tuesday in the attack on the U.S. consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi by protesters angry over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad.
