No.
Someone on the ground communicated with something in the air. Otherwise you wouldn't give away your position painting a target.
It stinks, doesn't it?

Yes sir, the entire episode stinks. Can't believe that our leadership did NOTHING to help an Embassy diplomat, not to mention his assistant and former SEALS who ran to defend. That used to be cause for total war and annihilation.
In the old days before political correctness and limited "rules of engagement", we would have KILLED them all. Think AC-130 gunships or Cobra gattling guns. Too bad about the collateral damage. Don't attack and you won't get killed. But then these tribal Muslim shits really don't care about their women and children.
And while I'm on "ROE", I'm still glad we nuked Japan into submission. I'm also glad we devastated Dresden, Hamburg, and many other German cities. Those were the times we wanted to win a war started by others. Viet Nam was the turning point due to weak leadership (McNamara) and over-indulged hippies. Read Bork's "Slouching Towards Gomarrah" to understand why the 60's media and kids were so bad for our present time.
Actually, it may have started in the "forgotten war", Korea, when MacArthur was fired. We should have nuked those Cong/Chinese bastards into oblivion. We would not be facing the growing threat of China today.
