400 US Surface-To-Air Missiles Were 'STOLEN' From Libya During The Benghazi Attack, Claims Whistleblower -- Daily Mail
A former U.S. Attorney who represents whistle-blowers with knowledge of what happened when armed militants attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya last year says 400 surface-to-air missiles were 'taken from Libya' during the attack, and that the U.S. intelligence community is terrified they might be used to shoot down airliners.
Joe diGenova, whose wife Victoria Toensing – a former deputy assistant attorney general – also represents Benghazi witnesses and others with knowledge of the terror attack, told WMAL radio that the loss of those missiles is also one the reason the U.S. State Department shut down 19 embassies across the Middle East last week.

My Comment: I have some doubts on the accuracy of this report .... 400 surface-to-air missiles is a lot of missiles to store in one spot .... stealing them doubly so. But if this story is true .... it is a nightmare scenario that could cripple civil aviation for years.

If this is true, the American administration (and the public itself) bears the full guilt and responsibility for this. 400 of these missiles seems a dreadful lot.
When NATO interfered, combined with an assault by UK forces, they decimiated the Libyan Air Force, with only a few going down as a result of missiles similar to this.
Why where these missiles still here? What sort of underhanded dealings was going on...
