– The cascade of support following Chris Stevens' death has inspired his family to start a fund for peace in the Middle East, NBC Bay Area reports. "We just had this overwhelming response," says Chris' brother, Tom Stevens. "We have received emails, texts, letters, flowers, you name it. And then Chris' Face book page, it just went worldwide." Called the J Christopher Stevens fund, it will soon have a board and forge a strategy—likely focused on groups already seeking to mend fences between Americans and people in the Middle East, Tom said. He also encouraged possible donors—or anyone with ideas for the fund—to reach the Stevens family via rememberingchrisstevens.com.

"It’s a cavalcade of obstacles right now," says a US official. "It’ll be very difficult to see what evidence can be attributed to the bad guys."
