US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that the US-Libya friendship would not be a casualty of the attack that killed four embassy staff including US ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens overnight Tuesday in Benghazi.
Clinton said that the attack was the work of a "small and savage group," not the people or the government of Libya.

Conflicting reports suggested the diplomats were killed by crowds storming the embassy.
"How could this happen is a country we helped liberate, in a city we saved from destruction?" Clinton asked.
