2 killed in Libya Navy SEALs
THE United States on Thursday identified two additional victims of this week's deadly attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, as former Navy SEALS who died trying to protect their colleagues.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty died in Tuesday's assault on the Benghazi consulate, which also killed US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and Sean Smith, a State Department information management officer.
"Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest gratitude are with their families and friends. Our embassies could not carry on our critical work around the world without the service and sacrifice of brave people like Tyrone and Glen," Clinton said in a statement.
The statement identified both Woods and Doherty as former Navy SEALS with lengthy experience in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The statement did not say in what capacity they were working in Benghazi.
"I am enormously proud of the men and women who risk their lives every day in the service of our country and our values," Clinton said in her statement.
Doherty's family, through a public relations firm, has released information about him, including comments from friends.
"Don't feel sorry for him, he wouldn't have it," wrote Brandon Webb, who identified himself as a former SEAL and friend of Doherty's.
"He died serving with men he respected, protecting the freedoms we enjoy as Americans and doing something he loved."
