President Obama plans to go to Joint Base Andrews outside Washington on Friday afternoon to mark the return of the four Americans slain in Libya, the White House announced.
Mr. Obama will accompany Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton for a ceremony formally transferring the remains of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and the others killed during an attack on the United States Consulate in Benghazi this week. Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton will both speak at the event.
Mr. Stevens was the first American ambassador killed by an attack in more than 30 years. The other victims have been identified as Sean Smith, a Foreign Service officer, and Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty, both former members of the Navy SEALs who helped protect diplomatic personnel.
