William Lawrence, Director of the North Africa Project for the International Crisis Group, joins host Carol Castiel and VOA Middle East reporter Carla Babb by phone from Tripoli to share his thoughts about the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi and the tragic death of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, whom Lawrence knew and respected. In a wide-ranging conversation that touched on US - Libyan relations, lack of state institutions, outrage over the video mocking the Prophet Muhammad, and recommendations from ICG’s latest report on Libya called “Divided We Stand, Lawrence says that Libyan authorities and the great majority of Libyans, have condemned the attack and are resolved to work with the United States to bring the perpetrators to justice and greater stability to Libya.
