US Embassy Staff Reduction in Libya

Due to the security risks, more embassy staff are being withdrawn in hopes to return early next week, the US State Department has said. "This is a temporary further drawdown of staff for security reasons. We will review our posture again early next week with the goal of restoring staff as soon as conditions allow," a State Department official said in New York on Thursday, where Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is attending the U.N. General Assembly.
