Dozens of the al-Qaeda offshoot Ansar al-Sharia stormed the consulate with AK-47s and RPGs.

This keeps getting posted as KNOWN FACT.

I wonder. Here is a June 17, 2013 quote by the Prime Minister of Libya:

"Asked about the involvement of the Islamist Ansar Al-Sharia militias in the recent Benghazi violence, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said that he had no such evidence."

Does anyone know if there is any real definitive evidence as to who was in charge of the Benghazi attack?

And Note: Since al Qaeda was the recipient of some of the smuggled weapons it is counter-intuitive to assume that an "al Qaeda offshoot" would want to interfere with that flow.

I don't agree with that. If this group wasn't getting in on the arms flow there is no reason for me to believe they wouldn't pull this crap just to throw a monkey wrench in the works. Shia against Sunni. Tribal fueds. Blood fueds. Or simply just for the hell of it. Moslems are counter-intuitive troglodytes.
