| Mastermind behind Benghazi trained in the US |

| [Western Center for Journalism] Be advised this piece is totally unconfirmed. The embedded Shoebat article is quite interesting however. If true, it certainly explains the reluctance of the regime to pursue the perps. |

| #10 I hardly think elementary school in Indonesia would count as "trained". As far as Pakistan is concerned, show me the evidence. |

| #8 Yes. Though I think it's a bit beyond Morsi or the MB. |

| #7 I concur. Al-Azazi may not be the reason for the dodge, but Morsi and the MB certainly could be. Bears watching anyway. |

| #6 Yes, it's unconfirmed. Mohsen Al-Azazi was likely trained in the US. However, I do not believe he's the reason for the reluctance-to-pursue. “Mahadesh, mahadesh yermi, Dr. Morsi ba`atna” That phrase was mentioned in several post-analysis reports including here at the Burg. Egypt has long had ties to Benghazi. It's not all that far a drive to the Egyptian border. There is a sizable Egyptian/ethnic Egyptian presence in Benghazi. The Egyptian military supported the Libyan rebels early on. The situation is as follows: The attack on the consulate was planned and timed. The subsequent attack on the annex, albeit haphazard at first, became effective later on when trained forces arrived, particularly on the mortars. What that implies is a large enough organization to effect and fund a project requiring detailed intelligence gathering, coordinating various assets (perhaps having them function at varying levels,) and do it with effective internal and external OPSEC. It really doesn't excuse anyone on my previously posted list of suspects, except perhaps a "criminal organization". It does, however, narrow things down if true. |

| #3 Regardless of the alleged gun running, blaming the Nakoula's anti-Mohammed video, and telling Libyan President el-Magarief to 'pound sand' sound like a good plan if blaming Ansar al-Sahria, Morsi and the Muslim Broederbond are the only Benghazi alternatives. Once again we find ourselves backing the wrong team. |
