U.S. mission in Benghazi attacked

TRIPOLI, Libya, June 6 (UPI) -- No one was injured when the U.S. diplomatic office in Benghazi, Libya, was bombed, diplomatic officials in Tripoli said Wednesday.

U.S. officials said the improvised explosive device damaged the mission's front gates when it exploded Tuesday, CNN reported.

"The United States deplores the attack on its diplomatic mission in Benghazi," embassy officials said in a statement. "[We] have requested the Libyan Ministry of Interior to increase its security around U.S. facilities in Libya."

The embassy said the attack wouldn't alter the U.S. commitment to Libya.
