On June 6th, 2012, Al Qaeda set off a bomb in FRONT of the consulate in Benghazi. They FILMED the event and uploaded it to YOUTUBE, complete with pictures of the twin towers, OBL, and a tribute to Abu Yahya al-Libi who was killed on June 4th in a drone strike in Pakistan. The Al Qaeda bombers also LEFT PAMPHLETS at the consulate threatening to get revenge for al-Libi’s killing.
I think the time to do a security review would have been IMMEDIATELY after the bombing, and the action taken would have been to have more than 7 LOCAL SECURITY guards watching the perimeter on the night of attack. Also, putting bomb proof doors and bulletproof glass windows in might have been a smart idea.
This scandal infuriates me, and NO media is reporting that the consulate was attacked THREE MONTHS ago and nothing was done to increase security!!
There was also an RPG attack on the British Ambassador this summer (but I don’t know the precise date).
Can’t say there weren’t warning signs - only that they were ignored.
