Sources: DOD Memo Sent After Benghazi Attack Listed Suspects With Al Qaeda Ties -- FOX News
A targeting memo sent to the State Department by the Defense Department’s Africa Command two days after the Benghazi attack listed 11 suspects with ties to Al Qaeda and other groups, counter-terrorism and congressional sources confirmed to Fox News.
This is significant because it arrived two days before then-UN ambassador Susan Rice appeared on television shows blaming the assault on an inflammatory video. It also came nearly a day before presidential aide Ben Rhodes sent an email also suggesting the video – and not a policy failure – was to blame for the Sep, 11, 2012 attack that claimed four American lives.
The memo, which was referred to in passing during recent congressional testimony, was drawn up by the Defense Department's Africa command, known as Africom, and was sent to the State Department as the best available intelligence in the early morning hours of September 14, 2012.

My Comment: Was this just standard operating procedure .... list the usual suspects .... or did the U.S. military and intelligence community have actual evidence linking these militants to the US consulate attack. Either-way .... this new revelation just raises more questions on what did the White House know and why did they choose the narrative that they did (blaming the attack on the release of a video) immediately after the attack.
