The recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) release of a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) has provided more questions than answers. According to the DIA, a preliminary report informed then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Sept. 12, 2012 that the previous day’s Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attack that left four Americans dead had been planned “at least ten days in advance” by al -Qaida and Muslim Brotherhood-linked terrorists, according to a statement released on Thursday by Special Operations OPSEC, a public-interest group of retired special operations military veterans.
In a heavily redacted memorandum dated Sept. 12, 2012 — the day after the Benghazi slaughter of four Americans including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens — the DIA informed Hillary Clinton, then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, President Obama’s National Security Council and the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff that the Islamic terrorists planned their attack about 10 or more days prior to the slaughter that occurred on the day the U.S. acknowledged the 11th Anniversary of the attacks in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania that killed about 3,000 innocent people.
