Breaking News: New Facts on 2012 Benghazi Attacks

STATE DEPT. ASKED EMBASSY SECURITY FIRM TO REPLACE BENGHAZI GUARDS ONE WEEK BEFORE ATTACK... AND THEN INSTRUCTED THEM TO REMAIN SILENT CALL 516-735-5468 or e-mail Sandy to schedule interviews with Brad Owens, former army intelligence officer who was on the ground in Benghazi in 2012. Watch this story on FNC’s Tucker Carlson. Go here now. Eleven days before the attack on the U.S. Benghazi compound in 2012, the State Department asked Torres Advanced Solutions, an embassy security contractor, to replace the guard force then protecting the facility because it was the compound by its current contractor. The attack came just as Torres was gearing up to move in and take over the task of guarding the facility. After the September 11th attacks destroyed the compound and killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the State Department instructed Torres and associates not to reveal that the request to move in and take over had been made. In addition, the State Department demanded that Torres’s force be unarmed, just like the guard force then deployed. Torres objected and said that they planned to arm the guards anyway. The State Department also instructed them not to reveal the request that the guards be unarmed. None of these facts have been disclosed previously. Brad Owens, of Torres Systems, recounts these events, for the first time, on the Tucker Carlson Show on Fox News Channel tonight - Friday, September 8th. This disclosure raises important new points about the Benghazi tragedy: 1. It shows that the State Department was fully aware of the vulnerability of the compound prior to the attack. 2. It reveals that the State Department had insisted that the compound’s guards be unarmed. 3. The instruction not to tell the truth about the request to deploy or the instruction not to arm the new guards raises a question as to whether the political need to protect the outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton played any role in these instructions. Brad Owens of the Torres Firm, who was personally on the ground in Benghazi six months before the raid and was in charge of gearing up to take over the guard duty.
