An Islamic militant group said Sunday it has “secured” a U.S. Embassy compound in Libya’s capital city of Tripoli.
American personnel evacuated the area roughly a month ago amid ongoing fighting in the country.
An Associated Press journalist walked through the compound Sunday after the Dawn of Libya, an umbrella group for Islamist militias, invited onlookers inside.
Windows at the compound had been broken, but it appeared most of the equipment there remained untouched.
The breach of a deserted U.S. diplomatic post likely will reinvigorate debate in the U.S. over its role in Libya, more than three years after supporting rebels who toppled dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
A commander for the Dawn of Libya group said his forces had entered and been in control of the compound since last week.
“We’ve seen the reports and videos and are seeking additional details.” a senior State Department official told Fox News late Sunday. “At this point, we believe the Embassy compound itself remains secure but we continue to monitor the situation on the ground, which remains very fluid.”
So ‘fluid’ that the muzzies are using the compound swimming pool for diving practice. There’s no classified information being stored there anymore, but the fact that the idiots in the State Department pass this off as ‘secured’ and ‘guarded’ by a radical Islamic group is further proof of the abject stupidity of Obama’s regime.
