An AFP correspondent at the site said the wall surrounding the property was destroyed and the embassy building extensively damaged. Two cars parked near the embassy were also destroyed.

The explosion occurred around 7am (3pm AEST), [...]

FBI Questions Tunisian Man over Benghazi Attack

A Tunisian man has been questioned by the FBI in connection with the September 11 bombing of the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya that killed four diplomats. After months of failed attempts, he was examined as a “witness” – without legal counsel.

­Ali Harzi was extradited to Tunisia after being arrested in Turkey in October, under strong suspicion of involvement in the terrorist attack in which US Ambassador Christopher Stephens was killed.

He had since refused to be questioned by the FBI [...]

Latest Benghazi-Gate: Defense Department Had Live Video of Attack

Live video from a drone flying over the U.S. Consulate during the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, was monitored at a Defense Department facility, but was not fed to the White House, senior officials say.

The Obama administration has declined to respond to media requests for details about who was watching the live video, but a senior defense official told The Washington Times that “the surveillance aircraft captured footage of events on the ground” and “it wasn’t available that [...]

SPECIAL REPORT: U.S Knew for Years of Benghazi Extremism

Senior State Department, defense and intelligence officials were well aware that Benghazi and its surrounding area harbored al Qaeda-linked extremists long before the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in the eastern Libyan city.

Benghazi became famous last year as the birthplace of the revolution that swept Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi from power.

But in recent interviews with The Washington Times, several former high-level officials explained that eastern Libya was notorious in Washington’s counterterrorism community for more than a decade [...]

REVEALED: Weapons for Libya Secretly Approved by Obama Admin, Fell into Islamist Hands

The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but U.S. officials later became alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to U.S. officials and foreign diplomats.

No evidence has emerged linking the weapons provided by the Qataris during the uprising against Moammar Gadhafi to the attack that killed four Americans at the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, in September.

But in the [...]

Tunisian Suspect in Benghazi Attack Refuses to Speak to FBI

A Tunisian suspected of involvement in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in which the U.S. ambassador to Libya was killed is refusing to be interrogated by FBI agents, his lawyer said.

“They wanted to interrogate him as a witness, but he has refused,” Abdelbasset Ben Mbarek said, referring to his client Ali Hamzi, and denouncing what he called “interference” in the Tunisian judicial system.

He explained that the attempt to question Hamzi, who was arrested in Turkey and deported [...]

Rice to Meet with McCain over Benghazi

US envoy to the UN Susan Rice will meet Senator John McCain in an apparent bid to defuse a bitter row over Libya that could hurt her chances of becoming the next secretary of state.

McCain has led Republican attacks against Rice, accusing her of misleading the public over the September 11 assault on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me.” Rice has been accused of providing misleading statements to several news organizations, speaking at the request of [...]

Latest Benghazi-Gate: Investigation ‘Full of Holes’

After more than two months, Libya’s investigation into the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi appears in limbo. Key security commanders and witnesses say they were never questioned. No suspects have been named, and gunmen seen participating in the assault walk freely in the eastern Libyan city.

Hanging over the probe is a fear of reprisals from extremist militiamen. Farag al-Fazani, a young commander of a Libyan security force commissioned to protect the U.S. post at the time of the [...]

Latest Benghazi-Gate: Intelligence Officials Edited Talking Points on Attack

Authorities with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the CIA, decided to remove the terms “attack,” “Al Qaeda” and “terrorism” from unclassified guidance provided to the Obama administration several days after militants attacked the U.S. mission in Benghazi, a senior official said Tuesday.

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, relied on the so-called talking points when she appeared on several Sunday TV talk shows five days after the Sept. 11 attacks in eastern [...]

Special Report: CIA Probes Role of ‘Ansar al Sharia’ in Benghazi Attack

Former CIA Director David Petraeus is expected to tell House and Senate committees Friday that soon after the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, it suspected Ansar al Sharia was responsible. But just what is Ansar al Sharia, and why wasn’t it identified as a prime suspect two months ago?

Ansar al Sharia is more a label than an organization, one that’s been adopted by conservative Salafist groups across the Arab world. The name means, simply, “Partisans of Islamic [...]

Former CIA Director David Petraeus has agreed to testify before the House and Senate intelligence committees, Fox News has learned.

Prior to his abrupt resignation last week, Petraeus had been scheduled to testify this Thursday on the burgeoning controversy over the Libya terror attack.

Republican and Democratic senators called for scandal-plagued CIA ex-director David Petraeus to testify about the deadly September 11 attack on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Latest Benghazi-Gate Twist: CIA Annex Used to Hold Al Qaeda Terrorists – with Video

Benghazi-gate appears to be headed to strange new directions all the time. Earlier I had said that I didn’t hear of any report about the CIA annex in Benghazi being used to hold Islamist militia members linked to Al Qaeda. The FOX anchor doesn’t seem to be familiar with it either, but Jennifer Griffin mentions that she did make a similar report earlier, so it’s possible that Paula Broadwell was actually repeating a FOX News report that she heard, rather [...]

The Official Pentagon Timeline of Events of Attack at Benghazi

The Pentagon on Friday released a timeline of its response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, pushing back arguments that the Defense Department did not move fast enough to thwart the assault.

The timeline shows that two to four hours after the attack had begun, the Pentagon ordered forces to ?prepare to deploy? to Libya and a staging base in Sigonella, Italy. When those forces actually left their bases was not disclosed.

U.S. Looking for Recruits for Libya?s New Army

U.S. officials in Libya have begun to look for recruits whom they plan to train to form Libya’s new army, a former commander of Libyan rebels who toppled Muammar Qaddafi said.

After a wave of anti-American violence in the Arab world in September during which the U.S. ambassador to Libya died in a militant attack, President Barack Obama took measures to improve the security of U.S. diplomatic installations in the region.

A team of about 10 Americans from the embassy in Tripoli [...]

Behind The Crisis in Benghazi, a Lack of Firepower

As Americans fought for their lives in Benghazi, Libya, the Pentagon?s options for direct intervention were narrowed to one: a fleet of F-16 fighters parked across the Mediterranean at NATO’s air base in Aviano, Italy (pictured).

How the best military in the world came to having only one real choice in a terrorist attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other U.S. citizens is the story of an ill-equipped commander.

Interior Minister Ali Larayedh said were ?major assumptions? that Ali Harzi, who was arrested and repatriated from Turkey, had a link to the attack in the Libyan city that killed U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11 this year.

Benghazi Mission was Mainly a CIA Operation

The US mission in Benghazi that came under attack by militants on September 11 was mainly a secret CIA operation, shedding new light on the deadly assault.

President Barack Obama’s administration has faced a storm of pre-election questions about why there was not more security at the US consulate where four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed on September 11.

The Wall Street Journal said the mission was mainly a CIA operation, adding that of the 30 American officials evacuated from [...]

Latest Damning Benghazi-Gate: What was Found and What was Missed

More than six weeks after the shocking assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi — and nearly a month after an FBI team arrived to collect evidence about the attack – the battle-scarred, fire-damaged compound where Ambassador Chris Stevens and another Foreign Service officer lost their lives on Sept. 11 still holds sensitive documents and other relics of that traumatic final day, including drafts of two letters worrying that the compound was under “troubling” surveillance and complaining that the Libyan [...]

Why Our Forces Were Told to ?Stand Down? in Benghazi

To understand what went wrong in the Benghazi mission, it?s important to begin by looking at what was so unique about it.

When the Islamist mobs began their September 11 rampage, they found embassies with high walls, heavy security and police protection. Even in Tunis and Cairo, where the Arab Spring Islamist regimes have been accused of collaborating with their fellow Salafists, there were credible military and police forces capable of preventing the kind of full scale assault that took place [...]
