I assume you've read about one of those 'local police/guards" taking pictures of the compound not long before the attacks began that night?
Diplomat Killed in Libya Told Fellow Gamers: Hope I ‘Don’t Die Tonight’
On Tuesday, Sean Smith, a Foreign Service Information Management Officer assigned to the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, typed a message to the director of his online gaming guild: ”Assuming we don’t die tonight. We saw one of our ‘police’ that guard the compound taking pictures.” The consulate was under siege, and within hours, a mob would attack, killing Smith along with three others, including the U.S. ambassador.
