…Είναι σε ανοικτή γραμμή συνεργασία με την που χρησιμοποιεί και στη Συρία!
Από τη "Σίβυλλα"
Δεν πρόκειται για συνομωσιολογίες των
γνωστών ανυπότακτων αριστερών δυνάμεων που καταδικάζουν την
ιμπεριαλιστική επέμβαση στη Συρία, σε συνεργασία με την Αλ Κάιντα… το
αμερικάνικο υπέρ-όπλο.
Η αποκάλυψη πως η δολοφονία του αμερικανού πρεσβευτή στη Λιβύη ήταν γνωστή στις ΗΠΑ, έρχεται από τη βρετανική εφημερίδα The Independent.
Τι γράφει;
ΑΠΟΚΛΕΙΣΤΙΚΟ: οι ΗΠΑ είχαν ειδοποιηθεί για την επίθεση εναντίον της πρεσβείας τους, αλλά δεν έκαναν τίποτα.

Revealed: inside story of US envoy's assassination
Exclusive: America 'was warned of embassy attack but did nothing'
Kim Sengupta
The
killings of the US ambassador to Libya and three of his staff were
likely to have been the result of a serious and continuing security
breach, The Independent can reveal.
American officials believe the attack
was planned, but Chris Stevens had been back in the country only a
short while and the details of his visit to Benghazi, where he and his
staff died, were meant to be confidential.
The US administration
is now facing a crisis in Libya. Sensitive documents have gone
missing from the consulate in Benghazi and the supposedly secret
location of the "safe house" in the city, where the staff had
retreated, came under sustained mortar attack. Other such refuges
across the country are no longer deemed "safe".
Some
of the missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of
Libyans who are working with Americans, putting them potentially at
risk from extremist groups, while some of the other documents are said
to relate to oil contracts.
According
to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible
information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and
the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no
warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and "lockdown",
under which movement is severely restricted.
Mr
Stevens had been on a visit to Germany, Austria and Sweden and had
just returned to Libya when the Benghazi trip took place with the US
embassy's security staff deciding that the trip could be undertaken
safely.
Eight Americans, some
from the military, were wounded in the attack which claimed the lives
of Mr Stevens, Sean Smith, an information officer, and two US Marines.
All staff from Benghazi have now been moved to the capital, Tripoli,
and those whose work is deemed to be non-essential may be flown out of
Libya.
In the meantime a Marine
Corps FAST Anti-Terrorism Reaction Team has already arrived in the
country from a base in Spain and other personnel are believed to be on
the way. Additional units have been put on standby to move to other
states where their presence may be needed in the outbreak of
anti-American fury triggered by publicity about a film which demeaned
the Prophet Mohamed.
A mob of
several hundred stormed the US embassy in the Yemeni capital Sanaa
yesterday. Other missions which have been put on special alert include
almost all those in the Middle East, as well as in Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Armenia, Burundi and Zambia.
Senior
officials are increasingly convinced, however, that the ferocious
nature of the Benghazi attack, in which rocket-propelled grenades were
used, indicated it was not the result of spontaneous anger due to the video,
called Innocence of Muslims. Patrick Kennedy, Under-Secretary at the
State Department, said he was convinced the assault was planned due to
its extensive nature and the proliferation of weapons.
There
is growing belief that the attack was in revenge for the killing in a
drone strike in Pakistan of Mohammed Hassan Qaed, an al-Qa'ida
operative who was, as his nom-de-guerre Abu Yahya al-Libi suggests,
from Libya, and timed for the anniversary of the 11 September attacks.
Senator
Bill Nelson, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said: "I
am asking my colleagues on the committee to immediately investigate
what role al-Qa'ida or its affiliates may have played in the attack and
to take appropriate action."
According
to security sources the consulate had been given a "health check" in
preparation for any violence connected to the 9/11 anniversary. In the
event, the perimeter was breached within 15 minutes of an angry crowd
starting to attack it at around 10pm on Tuesday night. There was,
according to witnesses, little defence put up by the 30 or more local
guards meant to protect the staff. Ali Fetori, a 59-year-old accountant
who lives near by, said: "The security people just all ran away and
the people in charge were the young men with guns and bombs."
Wissam
Buhmeid, the commander of the Tripoli government-sanctioned Libya's
Shield Brigade, effectively a police force for Benghazi, maintained
that it was anger over the Mohamed video which made the guards abandon
their post. "There were definitely people from the security forces who
let the attack happen because they were themselves offended by the
film; they would absolutely put their loyalty to the Prophet over the
consulate. The deaths are all nothing compared to insulting the
Prophet."
Mr Stevens, it is
believed, was left in the building by the rest of the staff after they
failed to find him in dense smoke caused by a blaze which had engulfed
the building. He was discovered lying unconscious by local people and
taken to a hospital, the Benghazi Medical Centre, where, according to a
doctor, Ziad Abu Ziad, he died from smoke inhalation.
An
eight-strong American rescue team was sent from Tripoli and taken by
troops under Captain Fathi al- Obeidi, of the February 17 Brigade, to
the secret safe house to extract around 40 US staff. The building then
came under fire from heavy weapons. "I don't know how they found the
place to carry out the attack. It was planned, the accuracy with which
the mortars hit us was too good for any ordinary revolutionaries,"
said Captain Obeidi. "It began to rain down on us, about six mortars
fell directly on the path to the villa."
Libyan
reinforcements eventually arrived, and the attack ended. News had
arrived of Mr Stevens, and his body was picked up from the hospital and
taken back to Tripoli with the other dead and the survivors.
Mr
Stevens' mother, Mary Commanday, spoke of her son yesterday. "He did
love what he did, and he did a very good job with it. He could have
done a lot of other things, but this was his passion. I have a hole in
my heart," she said.
Global anger: The protests spread
Yemen
The
furore across the Middle East over the controversial film about the
Prophet Mohamed is now threatening to get out of control. In Sana'a,
the Yemeni capital, yesterday around 5,000 demonstrators attacked the
US embassy, leaving at least 15 people injured. Young protesters,
shouted: "We sacrifice ourselves for you, Messenger of God," smashed
windows of the security offices and burned at least five cars,
witnesses said.
Egypt
Egypt's
Islamist President Mohamed Morsi yesterday condemned the attack in
Benghazi that killed the US ambassador. In a speech in Brussels, Mr
Morsi said he had spoken to President Obama and condemned "in the
clearest terms" the Tuesday attacks. Despite this, and possibly playing
to a domestic audience, President Obama said yesterday that "I don't
think we would consider them an ally, but we don't consider them an
enemy".
Demonstrators in Cairo attacked the mission on Tuesday evening and protests have continued since.
Iraq
Militants
said the anti-Islamic film "will put all the American interests Iraq
in danger" and called on Muslims everywhere to "face our joint enemy",
as protesters in Baghdad burned American flags yesterday. The warning
from the Iranian-backed group Asaib Ahl al-Haq came as demonstrators
demanded the closure of the US embassy in the capital.
Bangladesh
Islamists
warned they may "besiege" the US embassy in Dhaka after security
forces stopped around 1,000 protesters marching to the building. The
Khelafat Andolon group called for bigger protests as demonstrators
threw their fists in the air, burned the flag and chanted anti-US
slogans.
Others
There
was a Hamas-organised protest in Gaza City, and as many as 100 Arab
Israelis took to the streets in Tel Aviv. In Afghanistan, President
Hamid Karzai postponed a trip to Norway, fearing violence. Officials in
Pakistan said they "expected protests". Protesters in Tunis burnt US
flags.
