'Libyans tried to save US envoy'

LIBYA: Libyans tried to save US Ambassador Chris Stevens after finding him in a locked, smoke-filled room following last week's attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, according to amateur video footage obtained on Tuesday by AFP.

"Is there a doctor around? Does anyone know a doctor," a young man, among a crowd of people gathered around a body believed to be Stevens, is heard saying in the video footage. Another person is seen checking the pulse of the victim.

In another scene, protesters are shown dragging a body out of a window and then placing it on the ground outside a building that has been burned by flames. AFP
