I don’t disagree.
But is it normal for an Ambassador to travel to a consulate without a security team?
No one has explained why he was there.
Clearly, at least to me, is this trip was a normal part of his routine. And that someone who knew that tipped off the terrorists. They knew he was there. They knew he was without his security.
Why would someone travel without security?
They would if they did not want to draw attention to themselves or if they did not want the security to know what they are doing. Or both.
So, you have a man routinely traveling to a remote site with no security because he did not want to draw attention to himself or he did not want his security team seeing what was going on.
There are very few possibilities for WHY he was there that are not really embarrassing or just plain bad.
May be related to this?
