UN Ambassador Susan Rice said Sunday she doubts the deadly attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was a pre-planned Al Qaeda operation that could have been detected. As protests to an anti-Islam video continued, some knowledgeable lawmakers aren't so sure.
US officials are moving away from the theory that Al Qaeda or some other terrorist group planned and carried out a coordinated attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last week.
The violent protest in the wake of an anti-Islam YouTube video "seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons," UN Ambassador Susan Rice said Sunday, noting that rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons are easily obtained in Libya following the fall of Muammar Qaddafi.

My Comment: So .... the Libyan president says U.S. consulate attack was premeditated, and U.S. Ambassador Rice says it began spontaneously. Hmmmmm .... who is right?
What's my take .... with few if any boots on the ground to investigate what happened at the US consulate in Benghazi, I fail to understand how Amb. Rice can come to such a quick conclusion. Oh well .... at least Libya and the U.S. will work together in the investigation.
