CIA found militant links a day after Libya attack
Submitted by hortulanus94 on Fri, 10/19/2012 - 08:15WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington within 24 hours of last month's deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate that there was evidence it was carried out by militants, not a spontaneous mob upset about an American-made video ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad, U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.
It is unclear who, if anyone, saw the cable outside the CIA at that point and how high up in the agency the information went. The Obama administration maintained publicly for a week that the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a result of the mobs that staged less-deadly protests across the Muslim world around the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on the U.S.
Those statements have become highly charged political fodder as the presidential election approaches. A Republican-led House committee questioned State Department officials for hours about what GOP lawmakers said was lax security at the consulate, given the growth of extremist Islamic militants in North Africa.

According to Mathaba it was the work of the Resistance.
The Jamahiri Resistance represents the people of Libya who were bombed, raped and murdered by the al Qaeda rebels supported by NATO. Christopher Stevens was involved in organising the rebellion in 2011 and was therefore a legitimate target of the Resistance.
He was dragged through the streets of Benghazi just like Qadhafe was dragged through the streets of Sirte by the rebels. He was sodomised then shot just as Qadhafe was sodomised and shot. Hillary Clinton has said she is responsible for Stevens' death and she is correct. She was the one who called for Qadhafe's murder. As she herself has said on record paraphrasing Julius Caesar: "We came, we saw, he died."
In effect in the eyes of the Resistance this was a legal execution...an eye for en eye. Stevens was the official representative of Hillary Clinton.
