A Libyan policeman was caught photographing the inside of the US Consulate in Benghazi on the morning of September 11, hours before US Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed in a terror attack there, and worried US consular staff complained to the Libyan Foreign Ministry over the security breach, an Arabic TV station reported on Thursday, quoting from letters found at the consulate after it was attacked.
Alaan TV, a channel based in the United Arab Emirates, said the letters also showed that the Americans had been urging the Libyan authorities to provide special security arrangements for Stevens visit including a 24-hour police guard at the front and rear gates of the consulate, a mobile patrol and a bomb-sniffing dog but these requests were not granted. The consulate was left for many hours with no police support at all, one letter complained.
In excerpts of the TV broadcast recorded and translated by MEMRI (the Middle East Media Research Institute), Alaan TV said it was basing its report on documents written by US consulate staff on September 11 and found in the Tactical Operations Center building of the consulate.
The report referred to two letters one addressed to the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the other, almost identical in content, addressed to the Benghazi police chief.
In the letters, the Americans complained about an incident that occurred on the morning of September 11, an incident they described as troubling, the report said.

Is that what you need?
Yes and please ask your list to post information on any other sites that might reach our vets and troops. They need to know this information BEFORE election day.
