State Knew Benghazi Was Terrorist Attack Within Minutes

The State Department knew minutes after the siege began that terrorists were attacking the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya, a new book about the tragedy concludes.

Just 25 minutes in, as 35 gun-toting jihadists stormed the compound, the State Department received a cable advising it of the attack. The U.S. Embassy in Tripoli also was contacted by a security official assigned to protect U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, say the authors of the new book, "Under Fire, the Untold Story of the Attack on Benghazi," according to The Washington Examiner.
