60 Minutes' Benghazi Report Blames White House -- Was 'Planned, Sophisticated' Attack on 'Barely Protected American Compound
October 27, 2013
"Prior to the attack, Amb Stevens approved a cable to DC that said: 'The al Qaeda flag has been spotted…flying over govt bldgs'"
TheBlaze reported on the chilling objective stated by Al Qaeda terrorists in the 2012 Benghazi attack — "We're here to kill Americans" — as a preview of a "60 Minutes" segment, "Benghazi."
The report aired Sunday and examines the horrific attack on the U.S. mission in Libya that took the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012, noting that there were many unheeded warnings about the attack as well as misinformation regarding what sparked it — i.e., it wasn't caused by an anti-Muslim YouTube video, rather it was an Al Qaeda operation from the beginning.

"60 Minutes" took to Twitter to outline what it learned a supplement to the television report:
