Islamists torched the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya today.

Al Ahram Online reported:

An armed mob has attacked the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi and set fire to the building, witnesses reported, in what they said was a protest at a film they said offended Islam. A little earlier, Libya’s deputy interior minister Wanis al-Shari, told AFP the crowd had attacked the building and that information was confirmed by the US embassy in the capital Tripoli.

The BBC says the consulate was “burnt down.”

UPDATE: One US official was killed in the rioting.
