My hunch for some time now is that the personnel were not really the targets the intel was. Only two were killed in the main building and some 25-35 escaped there and went to the "annex." Where they were assaulted two more times and suffered only two fatal casualties there before escaping again to board a plane to Tripoli.

Reports from the beginning estimate as many as 125 attackers armed with AKs, RPGs, mortars and anti-aircraft guns. No one should have survived. It seems more like the attackers wanted to clear those compounds in order to search them.

I read as manly as 200 attackers in the over 500 links I have covered in the past few weeks.I also heard/read the “annex” was a CIA headquarters.
