U.N. Mum On Deaths Of Americans – Secretary General, General Assembly Remain Quiet About Muslim Terror
Stewart Stogel / WND
UNITED NATIONS – Two terrorist attacks on United States diplomatic missions and a national day to honor those fallen during 9/11, and the United Nations remained curiously muted.
Neither Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon nor the Security Council issued any immediate reaction to the Tuesday attacks on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo or the storming of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, by Muslim extremists.
By late Wednesday morning, the Security Council did convene a previously scheduled briefing on Libya, but even that brought a muted action.
The gathering opened with a brief statement by council president Peter Wittig, of Germany, who “strongly condemned” the attack and offered condolences to the U.S. delegation.
It lasted less than 10 seconds.
Wittig’s brief condolences were followed by a similar statement by U.N. Under Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman.
Incredibly, Feltman told the council “security remains the biggest challenge for the Libyan government.”
But there was nothing directly from Ban or the 193-member U.N. General Assembly.
General Assembly President Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser, of Qatar, has been silent.
