The attackers forced their way through the pedestrian gate of the compound and used diesel fuel to set the Libyan barracks ablaze, said Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary of state for international programs. "Two local Libyan security personnel were beaten, and two were shot. We should not lose sight of their service," she said.
