Capitol Flags Flown At Half-Staff To Honor Victims Of Libya Attack

The flags over the Capitol will be flown at half-staff in honor of the American embassy staff killed in Libya, according to a statement from House Speaker John Boehner.

U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three American embassy staff were killed in an attack Wednesday in Benghazi.

Congressional leaders have issued statements condemning the attack, and Boehner announced Wednesday morning that he will lead a moment of silent on the House floor.
