A Different Story From Hillary Clinton On Benghazi?

* Announcement of State Department dissent from rest of Obama administration could help protect Clinton during 2016 presidential run
* Obama administration originally said assault stemmed from protests against anti-Islam video but then backtracked saying terrorists responsible
* Officials tell how ambassador Chris Stevens was trapped in safe-room as assailants burnt the compound down
* AK-47s, grenade attacks, and a smoke-filled safe-room - chilling account of the death of U.S. ambassador Chris Stevens revealed
* Ambassador's whereabouts after attack not known until officials rang his cell phone - and found doctors trying unsuccessfully to save his life in hospital
* Most serious attack on U.S. diplomatic compound since al-Qaeda bombed the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania 14 years ago

The State Department has said that it never believed the September 11th attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was the result of a protest over an anti-Islam movie - directly contracting the rest of the Obama administration.

A dramatic new account by the State Department reveals that Stevens was locked inside a 'safe room' choking to death from diesel-heavy smoke as the building around him burned to the ground.
