New submitter overmoderated writes first with news of an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. From the article:
"The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other embassy staff were killed in a rocket attack on their car, a Libyan official said, as they were rushed from a consular building stormed by militants denouncing a U.S.-made film insulting the Prophet Mohammad."
An anonymous reader adds: "Sean Smith, a.k.a. Vile Rat, an EVE Online CSM member, and diplomat for the GoonFleet corporation, was one of the four killed in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya last night. He was 34. A fundraiser is being organized for his children by the Something Awful forums."

This matter is being discussed in General Discussion.

That said, it's a very tragic matter and he will be remembered for being an influential member of the community.
