Biden, Kerry honor fallen diplomats

(AP) ? Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry are leading a memorial service for U.S. diplomats slain in the line of duty, including the American envoy to Libya and three other Americans killed in last year's terrorist attack on the diplomatic post in Benghazi.

Biden and Kerry paid tribute on Friday to Benghazi victims Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty and Ty Woods as well as Anne Smedinghoff, the young foreign service officer killed last month in Afghanistan. Also honored was foreign service officer Ragaei Abdelfattah, who was killed in Afghanistan last year while working for the U.S. Agency for International Development

The names of those six, along with two diplomats killed during the Vietnam war, were added to memorial plaques at the State Department.
