MOSCOW (AP) — Russia on Thursday evacuated all of its diplomats and their families from Libya, the day after a mob attack on the Russian Embassy, and issued a warning to its citizens against visiting the country.
An armed mob broke into the embassy compound in the Libyan capital Tripoli, climbing over walls, breaking down a metal gate and shooting in the air. One of the attackers was killed by the gunfire, and four more were wounded, Libyan officials said.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said in Thursday's statement that Moscow decided to evacuate the embassy after Libya's Foreign Minister Mohamed Abdelaziz visited its grounds and told the Russian ambassador that Libya was unable to protect the personnel.

Is Putin in Vegas?
I wonder what movie set them off this time? /s
Paraphrased from Twitchy this morning: Obama sent more security to Barrycade the WWII Memorial than he did to protect the US Ambassador in Libya.
Ouch.
After they gassed the Chechens who had taken the school kids hostage, the Russian SWAT dudes went around the gymnasium and shot every one of the bomber chicks in the head.
Don't fuck with the Russians.
Thanks, Hillary and Barry for bombing the fuck out of that country. Look at the mess that you've made. I sure hope that you're proud of your work.
So long as Putin continues his campaign against gays, he can expect more of these demonstrations. People in the Middle East are very sensitive to this issue.
Was anyone left behind to be raped?
Can't wait to see how the Chekist eats Barry's lunch on this one.
It's a shame he's dead because this would be a great time for Muammar Gaddafi to hire out a billboard that says "Miss Me Yet?"
So will Putin prosecute the Russian videographer that insulted the muslims? Not that we should assume the attack was carried out by members of the religion of peace.
Putin has absolute proof that it wasn't the Syrians. Absolute I say.
Eric at 11:28 FTW!
And didn't the Soviets have remarkably little trouble during the hostage taking crisis in Lebanon in the 1980s? I've heard some pretty dark stories about how THAT came about. Short story was, "Don't fuck with the KGB!"
Detroit; Newark; Baltimore: is there any difference?
Lybia; Syria; Yemen: is there any difference?
Capiche?!
