Killed: Christopher Stevens was a career diplomat who died as he tried to evacuate staff from the US consulate in Benghazi

President Barack Obama is set to deploy a team of 50 marines to Libya after a bloody attack on a US consulate which left American ambassador Christopher Stevens, two marines and a communications officer dead.
The elite team will be sent to guard the compound in Benghazi which was left ravaged by firebombs during the attack. In the aftermath of the riot, looters are understood to have gutted the building.
But in a high-risk strategy which risks inflaming tensions between militant and the West further, President Obama is set to provide 'all necessary resources' to safeguard diplomatic personnel worldwide.
This, according to Fox News, includes sending marines into Libya.
The move is particularly radical as the president chose not to put military personnel on the ground in the North Africa country to help rebels topple Muammar Gaddafi during the revolution last year.
FBI agents will also be sent to investigate the deaths, which they have the power to do if an American dies abroad, an official told CNN.
