Yesterday The New York Post<\/a> posted an article by Kenneth R. Timmerman<\/a> about the 2012 attack on the embassy annex in Benghazi. I strongly suggest that you follow the link to the article as it is extremely complex.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

US intelligence agencies are sitting on a treasure trove of documents that detail Iran\u2019s direct, material involvement in the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that cost the lives of four Americans. But until now, deep state bureaucrats have buried them under layers of classification, often without reason.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From CIA officers, military contractors, and sources within US Special Forces, I have learned of the existence of at least 50 briefing documents that warned of Iranian intelligence operations in Benghazi. Some specifically predicted an Iranian attack on US diplomats and US facilities. Those documents have remained inaccessible, including to the Select Committee on Benghazi chaired by former US Representative Trey Gowdy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The deep state is expert at hiding information that would have a negative impact on its members. The fact that the Select Committee on Benghazi cannot access certain documents relating to Benghazi is further proof of that.<\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

By the summer of 2012, US intelligence and security officers in Benghazi and Tripoli warned their chain of command \u2014 including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens \u2014 that the Iranians were preparing a terrorist attack on the US compound in Benghazi. These increased Iranian preparations prompted the head of security for Stevens, Green Beret Colonel Andy Wood, to send a cable to his commanding officer in June 2012 that the Iranian-backed militia \u2014 Ansar al Sharia \u2014 had received their funding from Iran and were now sending their wives and children to Benghazi, as I reported in these pages previously<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until now, the government has released just a handful<\/a> of heavily redacted documents relating to Iran\u2019s Benghazi operations. Throughout the Obama administration, officials with knowledge of the Quds Force presence in Benghazi, including security contractors who defended the CIA Annex in a 13-hour battle with the jihadis, were repeatedly threatened with prosecution<\/a> if they revealed what they knew. Among them was the then-director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Gen. Michael Flynn.<\/strong><\/p>\n
