YouTube user “Abdalgadar Fadi” has uploaded a video claiming to show U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens being dragged from the consulate in Benghazi.
From Breitbart.com:
The translation of the text below the video reads: “Moment directed the U.S. ambassador before his death” and the headline translates to: “U.S. Ambassador and the people of Benghazi rescue attempt before his death.”
Speculation surrounds what exactly was being shouted in Arabic as the incident took place.
Spoke to two Arabic speaking friends. They hear the crowd saying "Lift him." Could not hear "he's alive" or verify reasons for celebration.

So, according to Arabic speaking reporter @jenanmoussa crowd is reacting to news that "the man" is alive, not cheering his death.

Watching alleged vid of US ambassador again &again. No one in crowd mentions word 'ambassador'. They keep on saying thou 'the man is alive'

My final judgment on alleged vid of US ambassador. I think crowd cheers not cz the man they found is almost dead but bcz 'the man is alive.'

RT @JaziaB: @jenanmoussa They keep repeating, get out of way he is alive. "He's alive, Allahu Akbar." Then telling other men to pick him up.
