Published January 10, 2014
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, the 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 histories ties to the Al Qaeda network, including training at one point at "Usama bin Laden's Torkham camp."
Fox News' Catherine Herridge contributed to this report.

The CIA was transshipping arms to Syrian rebels out of Benghazi, the Russians found out what was going on there and through back channels let Obozo know that they were going to roll it up and that if he knew what was good for him he had better stay out of the way! He did!
There it is!
