President Obama thanked Libyan President Magariaf for his apology to the American people and stressed the need for cooperation going forward in a phone call Wednesday evening, according to the White House.
Obama was pleased with the cooperation thus far and both presidents agreed to continue to work together to bring the perpetrators of Tuesday’s attacks that killed four Americans, including the ambassador to Libya, to justice.
Finally, Obama “reaffirmed our support for Libya’s democratic transition, a cause Ambassador Stevens believed in deeply and did so much to advance,” according to the White House.
