Official Repeatedly Warned About Deteriorating Security
by Jason Ditz, September 16, 2012
Despite US officials angrily condemning reports last week that the Benghazi consulate attack, which killed the US ambassador, came with advanced warning, another Libyan security official came forward today to confirm that he gave the US a specific warning about security three days before the attack.
“The situation is frightening, it scares us,” the battalion commander reportedly told US envoys. He added that this was not the first time he had warned them and that he hadrepeatedly cautioned that security was deteriorating, advice which was apparently ignored.
The US has insisted that nothing could possibly have been done to prevent the attack and claims they had absolutely no “actionable” warnings beforehand. Libyan officials are now scrambling to arrest people, saying they havecaptured 50 people over the attack.
