The last attack on an U.S. Embassy was in September 2015 when the American office in Uzbekistan was firebombed, leading to the temporary closure of the compound. Prior to that, of course, was the September 11, 2012 attack on two U.S. government facilities in Benghazi, Libya – the origins of which the Obama administration lied about and faced no consequences.

    I guess it could be anyone – someone angry at the U.S., but it also could be staged by the U.S. to give it an excuse to blame or attack a group/country – or maybe an excuse for the U.S. to fortify their embassy there. U.S. would sacrifice their own if they get enough advantage from it.

    Not to worry, now the morons in Montenegro will be asked to buy all sort of “security” from the US.
