Did anyone notice this in the transcript?

Approximately 20 armed people fired shots. Explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four chief-of-mission personnel are in the compound safe haven." At 4:54, less than an hour later, another alert. "The firing in Benghazi has stopped, a response team is on site attempting to locate chief-of-mission personnel." (/transcript)

Apparently there was some sort of "response team" on location by the time the fighting abated and the ambassador was being killed, or borne away to be killed. Perhaps the presence of the "response team" was why the ambassador was moved by the terrorists. </spec>

Another unexplained piece.

response team is on site

Could the “response team on site” be the 2 Navy Seals who died last, defending the compound?
