CIA’s actions “saved lives” during the 2012 Benghazi, Libya terrorist attack

“A six man CIA security team (plus an interpreter) left from the Annex to respond to the Temporary Mission Facility soon after it came under attack. The CIA security team did not make it in time to save Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith, but they successfully evacuated the other Americans at the Mission facility to the Annex”, according to report.

According to “The Benghazi Report – a Review of the Terrorist Attacks on U.S. Facilities in Benghazi, Libya on September 11-12, 2012″, by the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence – the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) launched a daring mission to save Ambassador Stevens and others during the attack.

Their actions while unsuccessful in saving Ambassador Stevens and others killed that day did save lives! How many lives they saved remains classified.

The report noted the follow:

” A six man CA security team (plus an interpreter) left from the Annex to respond to the Temporary Mission Facility soon after it came under attack. The CIA security team did not make it in time to save Ambassador Stevens and Sean Smith, but they successfully evacuated the other Americans at the Mission facility to the Annex.”

In another section of the report it was noted:

” seven person security team (consisting of two DoD personnel, four CIA personnel and a linguist) flew from the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli to Benghazi and successfully helped evacuate the Americans from the Annex to the airport. It is important to clarify that, at the time of the attacks in Benghazi, there were six DoD personnel (in total) assigned to Embassy Tripoli. Four employees were under Special Operations Command Africa (SOC-AFRICA) and reported through a similar, but separate chain of command with AFRICOM. The other two individuals from that team were DoD personnel working (deleted) based on a memorandum of understanding, under a separate special operations task force. According to the DoD, the four staff under SOC-AFRICA were told (ordered) by their command to stay to protect Embassy Tripoli, due to concerns of a similar attack in Tripoli” source: SSCI Transcript – (Unclassified version) Benghazi follow up with staff, May 22, 2013, pg 42-45
