Clinton: 'No info' ambassador on al Qaeda 'hit list'
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said today there is "no information" the American ambassador killed in a brazen attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya was on an al Qaeda hit list.
Clinton said she had "no reason to believe that there's any basis for that," apparently referring to a report by CNN in which an unnamed source "familiar with Ambassador [Christopher] Stevens' thinking" said that the ambassador believed he was on such a list.
Stevens was killed alongside two former Navy SEALs, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, and State Department computer expert Sean Smith in the Sept. 11 attack on an American diplomatic facility in Benghazi. Just weeks before his death, Doherty told ABC News he had been in Libya working with theState Department to track down thousands of dangerous surface-to-air missiles that had been looted during last year's revolution.
