From the article: ....."●11:56 p.m.: CIA officers at the annex are attacked by a rocket-propelled grenade and small arms. Sporadic attacks continue for about another hour. The attacks stop at 1:01 a.m., "........

then this:

●5:15 a.m.: A new Libyan assault begins, this time with mortars. Two rounds miss and the next three hit the roof. The rooftop defenders never “laser the mortars,” as has been reported. They don’t know the weapons are in place until the indirect fire begins, nor are the mortars observed by the drone overhead. The defenders have focused their laser sights earlier on several Libyan attackers, as warnings not to fire. At 5:26 the attack is over. Woods and Doherty are dead and two others are wounded.

First question....I'm assuming RPG's are different than mortars?

Second question - how would Libyan attackers know laser sights were on them in order to be warned off?

Third question - Regardless of whether the Libyan attackers had RPG's or mortars, why wouldn't we want to take them out if we could? We knew where they were, had them painted, but can't take them out because we have no air support, right?

Just trying to understand this latest "official" intelligence version vs. the damning story that Jennifer Griffin gave based on source(s?) who were actually on the ground in Benghazi.

Scratching my head. I had to read this several times. So they did not laser the mortars, instead the attackers firing weapons? Am I reading this right? We are supposed to believe the laser was used only in hopes of making the attackers go away and not because they wanted the attacker obliterated?
