There was a local militia who was supposed to guard the complex but apparently some were secret members of the attacking group.
However, I read one report by one of the militiamen who stood and fight, that they held out for a while (also taking an unknown number of casualties), before finally having to retreat.
We need much more documented information on this aspect of the defense of the Ambassador’s office and the other part of the complex, and by who.
Over the past few years since day one of Benghazi I have covered probably several hundred links just like this one tonight.Read account after account.I knew the security was local but always thought they were compromised and left as soon as the fighting started. You just opened the door to something new. Thanks very much.
Benghazi is the story that never ends.
