That's Minister of Foreign Affairs Hillary Clinton said Tuesday. The government examines how the safety of any diplomatic post has been made.

Last week, the ambassador in Libya and three other U.S. diplomats killed after protesters the U.S. consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi in had burnt.
