Witness Deaths Plague Probe Into Attack In Benghazi

• Were 15 witnesses to attack on U.S. consulate murdered?

Congressional investigators continue to dig into what was behind the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on a United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where four Americans were killed. But despite unearthing some explosive findings, the researchers have missed one of the most shocking aspects of the incident, which was revealed in previous issues of AMERICAN FREE PRESS. The U.S. facility in Benghazi was central to an American program to collect weapons that had been used by rebels in the war against former Libyan leader Muammar Qadaffi. These arms were then being shipped to terrorists and fighters in Syria, who are battling the Syrian government led by President Bashar al-Assad.

One especially interesting item that a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee discovered was revealed during a hearing on January 15: Since the September 11 terrorist attack, 15 Libyan witnesses who have been cooperating with Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigators have been murdered. The report lacked details on who was behind these killings and noted that it was unclear whether the killings were related to the probe.

The House Armed Services Committee also released its own report days earlier. Both panels arrived at definitive conclusions and issued searing condemnations of the White House.

General Carter Ham, then-head of the U.S. African Command (AFRICOM), testified in June 2013 that almost immediately he informed Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey that a terrorist attack was in full swing in Benghazi.

In addition to footage obtained from onsite CCTV cameras, Panetta and Dempsey then met with Barack Obama at the White House. All of these individuals knew that the carnage didn’t result from an anti-Muslim video. Still, by September 25, 2012—a full two weeks later—Obama continued his deceptive fantasy narrative during an appearance on “The View,” claiming that he wasn’t sure what happened.
