Meanwhile, a London think tank with strong ties to Libya speculated Wednesday that Stevens was actually the victim of a targeted al Qaeda revenge attack. The assault “came to avenge the death of Abu Yaya al-Libi, al Qaeda’s second in command killed a few months ago,” the think tank Quilliam said Wednesday.
It was “the work of roughly 20 militants, prepared for a military assault,” the think tank said, noting that rocket-propelled grenade launchers do not normally appear at peaceful protests, and that there were no other protests against the film elsewhere in Libya.

The al qaeda guy was from Libya. This was an assassination. Now State is going to have to explain the lack of security for the ambassador.

YA THINK!

It’s sad. An American diplomat died and I have to hold myself back from laughing at the deliberate cluelessness of the media, attempting to hide obvious truths about this.
