(Reuters) - Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.
A man suspected of involvement in an attack on the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi last month has been killed in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, officials say. The man was killed after an exchange of fire with security services in the Cairo suburb of Madinet Nasr. Authorities named the man only as Hazem.
Four US diplomatic officials were killed in the Benghazi attack, among them the US ambassador to Libya. According to the Egyptian officials the suspect was cornered in a flat in Madinet Nasr early on Wednesday morning. He threw a bomb at the security forces, but it bounced back into the flat.
An exchange of fire with the security services then began and went on for several hours, local media reports say. The suspect's burnt body was found in the property, along with weapons and explosive materials, officials say. The area was sealed off by police while emergency services dealt with a blaze caused by the exchange of fire.
Emergency services also had to rescue other residents of the building using hydraulic ladders, officials told the al-Ahram newspaper. One possibility is that the suspect was trying to make his way to the Sinai peninsula, which has become a magnet for militants from across the region, the BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo reports.

Now if only they will answer this question: Was the ambassador and our citizens who were killed in Benghazi killed with weapons Obama supplied the "rebels" AKA Al Qaeda?

The terrorists give us more straight answers than Obama does! So maybe, ask them instead!

Yea and Iraq had yellow cake too right? Where was the outrage then. What about when your boy Reagan cut and ran from Lebanon after the deaths of hundreds? Where was the outrage.

I have no interest in stepping back to 1983. This is 2012. Obama intentionally lied to us for the sake of his image. And b/c that was his motive; he did nothing to prevent the deaths of Americans. Seven hours passed between the initial attack and two Americans dying and Obama did nothing to mobilize Libyan forces or American assets in the region.
