Hi Everybody,
A series of internal State Department emails obtained by Fox News shows
that officials reported within hours of last month's deadly consulate
attack in Libya that Al Qaeda-tied group Ansar al-Sharia had claimed
responsibility.
The emails provide some of the most detailed information yet about what
officials knew in the initial hours after the attack. And it again
raises questions about why U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice,
apparently based on intelligence assessments, would claim five days
after the attack that it was a "spontaneous" reaction to protests over
an anti-Islam film.
Ansar al-Sharia has been declared by the State Department to be an Al
Qaeda-affiliated group. A member of the group suspected of participating
in the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi has been arrested and is being held
in Tunisia.
The emails obtained by Fox News were sent by the State Department to a
variety of national security platforms, whose addresses have been
redacted, including the White House Situation Room, the Pentagon, the
FBI and the Director of National Intelligence.
Fox News was told that an estimated 300 to 400 national security figures
received these emails in real time almost as the raid was playing out
and concluding. People who received these emails work directly under the
nation’s top national security, military and diplomatic officials, Fox
News was told.
