American, there were FIVE American security at the consulate, Five unarmed private Libyan security protecting the perimeter, and then an unknown number of armed Libyan members of the February 17 Brigade who were supposed to provide more muscle but ran off when the firing started.

Stevens had NO SECURITY.

According to this morning's Chris Plant radio show, WMAL,the two former SEALS were contract employees of a British Security firm called Blue Mountain (something). They were hired to secure the Consulate's documents. They chose to defend the employees out of sense of duty.

To date I've read nothing that indicates how or when they died. One of them was buried to day, sadly I can't recall that brave man's name.
