Lessons From Benghazi Bedlam Highlight Local Militia Roles
The New York Times report on the 2012 Benghazi attack assigns responsibility to local militia tensions rather than al Qaeda, noting fatal assumptions by U S diplomats. It cites Ambassador Stevens among four deaths and references congressional hearings led by Rep. Doc Hastings criticizing the Obama administration for a cover up and protection failures. Local forces and a controversial video sparked violent unrest, underscoring a lack of local knowledge in dangerous environments.
