    Phrasing it as “lightly attacked” is playing down the risk to embassy staff, diplomats and their security detail.

    If the attack was more successful we may have seen the embassy personnel murdered.

      I only say lightly because it was an unorganized mob that was dispersed with tear gas, it wasn’t actual soldiers with gear and training thankfully
