Official warned about deteriorating security situations before fatal Benghazi attack
Jamal Mabrouk, a member of the February 17th Brigade and a local security official in Libya said that he had warned American diplomats in Libya three days before the deadly assault on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi. Mabrouk has gone on record as warning U.S. diplomats about the deteriorating security within the city.
Mabrouk has told CNN that both he and a battalion commander had a meeting about the economy and security, saying that the security situation wasn't good for international business.
"The situation is frightening, it scares us," Mabrouk told the U.S. officials.
Mabrouk says there has been an increasing presence of armed jihadist groups in the Benghazi area.
Maybe that doesn't qualify as "chatter" that would get to our CIA/NSA, but there was fair warning.
It would only qualify as 'chatter' if the conversation was forwarded to the State dept. by US personnel in Libya.
It amazes me how keen you right wingers hindsight vision is.
