Sponatenous Demonstration: 3 Members Sent from Al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula to Provoke or Carry Out Benghazi Attack

Now, I may be wrong, but the Arabian Peninsula is rather far from Libya. Not so far as LA is from NY, but as far as, say, LA is from Chicago.

Now, if they were sent to Benghazi to start a battle or incite a battle... was this over that YouTube video?

One senior U.S. law enforcement official told CNN that “three or four members of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,” or AQAP, took part in the attack.

Another source briefed on the Benghazi investigation said Western intelligence services suspect the men may have been sent by the group specifically to carry out the attack. But it’s not been ruled out that they were already in the city and participated as the opportunity arose.

If the AQAP members were dispatched to Benghazi, it would be further evidence of a new level of co-operation among jihadist groups throughout the Middle East and North Africa, counterterrorism analysts say.

That's what it would prove? Gee, I think it might also offer some proofs about the Administration's election-year claims about the attack.

Meanwhile, the State Department is launching a blue-ribbon, politically-independent, just-the-facts investigation to determine if the previous blue-ribbon politically-independent, just-the-facts investigation lied about everything.

The IG’s office is said by well-placed sources to be seeking to determine whether the Accountability Review Board, or ARB — led by former U.N. Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen — failed to interview key witnesses who had asked to provide their accounts of the Benghazi attacks to the panel.

...

This disclosure marks a significant turn in the ongoing Benghazi case, as it calls into question the reliability of the blue-ribbon panel that then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton convened to review the entire matter. Until the report was concluded, she and all other senior Obama administration officials regularly refused to answer questions about what happened in Benghazi.
