Contrary to a report by the NYT earlier this month, and repeated claims by the Obama Administration, the State Department is now acknowledging that terrorists were responsible for the deadly assault on the consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. The New York Times article claimed as the Obama Administration did, that the attack was spontaneous, as a result of an anti Islamic YouTube video. Two terrorists named in the State Department report released today were terrorists Sufian bin Qumu and Ahmed Abu Khattalah, further stating that bin Qumu had ties to Al-Qaeda.

The State Department on Friday for the first time blamed specific groups and militants for the 2012 Benghazi attack, designating them as terrorists -- a move that further undermines initial claims the attack was spontaneous.

The department announced that it was labeling Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi and Ansar al-Sharia in Darnah as terror organizations, in part over their role in the Benghazi attack. It applied the same label to Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia, over a separate attack on Americans in Tunis.

The State Department also labeled as terrorists Sufian bin Qumu, head of the Darnah branch and a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, and Ahmed Abu Khattalah, head of the Benghazi branch.

Fox News previously reported that the two were suspected of playing a role in the attack. And despite State Department claims that Al Qaeda leadership was not involved and a recent news report echoing that assessment, Fox News has learned that bin Qumu has Al Qaeda ties.

According to his Guantanamo file, he has historic ties to the Al Qaeda network, including training at one point at "Usama bin Laden's Torkham camp."

The State Department, in its announcement Friday, specifically discussed allegations against the Ansar al-Sharia branches.

"Ansar al-Shari'a in Benghazi and Ansar al-Shari'a in Darnah have been involved in terrorist attacks against civilian targets, frequent assassinations, and attempted assassinations of security officials and political actors in eastern Libya, and the September 11, 2012 attacks against the U.S. Special Mission and Annex in Benghazi, Libya," the department said. "Members of both organizations continue to pose a threat to U.S. interests in Libya."

This must be groundhog day for you eh LL? :lol:
 
What difference does it make?

Wow, the witticism! Good one. It makes a lot of difference. It makes every liberal who asserted this whole thing was a spontaneous attack a liar.

Idiot....he was being sarcastic. A snarky reference to the words of Hillary Clinton taken out of context. You are dense. When Jughead is stumping you.....you got problems.
I believe TK realized the sarcasm, and he was simply returning the favor.

What day is it for you?

The Times said no such thing...and neither did the Obama admin. They both said that it was a combination of things that led to the attack that day.

There is no there, there. Fucking losers want to use the deaths of those four men for your political gain. Period.

No he didn't.
 
So in other word, State confirms the Obama report that Al Qaeda was not involved, thus conservatives say the exact opposite.

Conservatives, why don't you just apologize to the nation for your pathological lying about Benghazi? Come clean. You'll look less craven and dishonest that way, plus you won't burn in hell for eternity.
