Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.
The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

I now understand why Romney didn’t bring it up last night - the story is still unfolding and Romney didn’t want to give Obambi any opportunity to defend his inaction.
Pentagon or White House or?
Sarah Palin is hot under the collar over this right now on Greta!!
This story is blowing sky high in Obama’s face!!
Petraeus is muzzled.
militant group?
Rooters can’t even use the word terrorism?
I agree. He knew something.
“militants” should visit Rooters
LOL! This is payback from the intelligence community for Obama/Biden's attempt to throw them under the bus over Benghazi. However, I thought they'd wait until after the election to bring down Zero. They must really be pissed. This scandal should finish the Obama campaign.
Something tells me Mr. Barry is going to develop a convenient case of Romnesia on this...
On a serious note, in light of this proof of our president and our secretary of defense blatantly lying about the rape, torture and murder of four Americans in Lybia, I think they should all be charged with high treason and dealt with as such by a military court.
Furthermore, with regard to the debate last night, what kind of man lays a trap for his opponent whose bait is those same raped, tortured and murdered dead Americans that he lied about for over a month?
WHAT KIND OF MAN lays such a trap?
Well, Mr. President, it looks like you just trapped yourself.
*spits in disgust on the ground*
“Petraeus has turned out to be the worst Director of Central Intelligence in history.”
He reminds me of the corrupt police chief on the “Untouchables” movie looking out the window at his dead cops.
He’s been compromised since maybe before the leftist freaks stopped making mean ads against him and put him in charge of the CIA.
Sounds like they watched the video AGAIN before sending their E-mail claiming responsibility. /s
Good point.
I’ve heard DC cell phones are lighting up with leaks.
Greta is showing the email right now on her show..she is LIVID..she also has Sarah Palin on as a guest and she is livid too..Obama KNEW in REAL TIME that this was a terrorist attack from Al Qaeda and he went on TV and blamed this on a damn video..I want his ass impeached..actually I want him to lose BADLY then get his ass thrown in Leavenworth
I think the ‘video’ was created. To use at a convenient time. BY the ‘State Department’. But that’s just MY opinion.
Greta is saying “Fox News obtained the emails” which is consistent with earlier reports by Catherine Herridge. I still say rooters was meant to be pre-emptive (ie frame the issue. Militant, not al Queda, etc)
And o went to vegas after voting present.
