Benghazi guards turned on US diplomats in 2012 attack, sources say

The explosive charge against Wales-based Blue Mountain Group comes from several sources, including an independent security specialist who has implemented training programs at U.S. Consulates around the world, including in Benghazi, where he trained a local militia that preceded Blue Mountain. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Blue Mountain used local newspaper ads to assemble a team of 20 guards, many of whom had terror ties, after securing a $9.2 million annual contract.

John "Tig" Tiegen was there and says guards turned on Americans.

“The guards who were hired were locals who were part of the Ansar al-Sharia and Al Qaeda groups operating in Benghazi,” said the source, whose assignment in Benghazi had ended in November 2011. “Whoever approved contracts at the State Department hired Blue Mountain Group and then allowed Blue Mountain Group to hire local Libyans who were not vetted.”

Many were members of the Libyan government-financed February 17th Martyrs Brigade, an Islamist militia that had previously guarded Americans before being replaced by Blue Mountain.

People out there are already interpreting this, like this for example:

That these "security guards" in Libya were hired over objections; and that the guards turned on Ambassador Stephens and the others.

This is Fox reporting this; curious story.

Of course, nothing would likely happen to Hillary over this but it does indicate a failure in duty.

A bit of a blockbuster story or at the least, new info if so.
