    21/ Last thing I want to share from . Not hugely important but nevertheless interesting fact to know: 2 vehicles (1 DS, 1 CIA) were used in evacuation from consulate. An eyewitness I met in Benghazi saw that. Acc to him, they didn't exit from main gate but from here 👇

    20/ Important to note that there were armed men among small number of protesters. A witness told me: "One guy climbed on car &fired RPG from crowd towards consulate." Then armed men started attack on consulate, which is 670 meters down the road. (RPG firing not caught on tape.)

    19/ I took 1 screenshot of the protest from video. Check the background: Wall partly covered with green plants. It's same as the location where I parked my car when I was in recently. (see 2 screenshots) Protest site &consulate entrance around 670 meters apart.

    18/ Much has been said about this: Did a protest take place prior to attack on US consulate in Benghazi or not? New footage I got shows there was indeed a small protest (50 ppl) shortly before attack. But as footage shows, protest NOT in front of consulate but 670 meters to east

    1/ While in Benghazi I also visited the villa which served as U.S. consulate in 2012. After the terrorist attack on the compound, Libyan owners renovated it for 1.5 million USD. They seek financial compensation from the US. Check how villa looks like now

    12/ Six out of the 17 extremists, who I identified, appear in new footage. Some are carrying arms. At least one is holding a black bag with looted documents from U.S. consulate. In our story, we chose to only publish their initials. Their full names are known to us.

    11/ Eventually after talking in to many witnesses &based on multiple confirmations, I was able to identify 17 extremists who were present during attack on U.S. consulate on night of 11 Sept 2012. Almost all belong to the terrorist group Ansar al Sharia.

    10/ Some witnesses we met in Benghazi were scared. attack is of course hugely sensitive subject, not only in the U.S. Some witnesses worried about possible retaliation by Ansar al Sharia sleeper cells, who have threatened consulate attack witnesses before.

    9/ So and I drove in from house to house, sometimes in middle of the night. Every time we spoke to another witness, they mentioned identity of new witnesses or names of extremists who they saw during 2012 consulate attack.

    8/ When I got the new footage, I did the following: Through sources I identified unarmed bystanders who appear in video. I traced them in Benghazi &talked to them. I showed them the footage &asked if they knew other witnesses or if they recognize extremists in video.

    7/ This new footage is important cause it's one of few vids where u can see faces. Consulate attack happened in evening, most videos blurry. And Ansar al Sharia hunted down people who openly filmed that night. So this footage was a good starting point for my report.

    6/ As you can see in this new Benghazi footage, in the beginning the crowd largely consists of 4 groups: a/ Unarmed protesters, b/ unarmed looters, c/ unarmed bystanders, d/ armed terrorists. For this report I was mainly interested in category d/, the armed militants.
