The terrorists who attacked the Benghazi consulate last year knew the
location of the safe room where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his
security team sought shelter, according to a congressman who spoke for
90 minutes with the diplomatic security agent severely injured in the
assault.
"He confirmed this - that it was a very well orchestrated, and well
organized, almost a military operation, using military weapons and using
military signals," the late Florida Rep. Bill Young said after meeting
diplomatic security agent David Ubben at Walter Reed Medical Center last
summer, when both were patients there.
After Young's death in mid-October, his widow, Beverly Young, gave
Fox permission to use her husband’s comments about the Sep. 11, 2012
terrorist attack on the record. The congressman had originally spoken
to Fox on background last summer.
"He (Ubben) emphasized the fact that it was a very, very military
type of operation they had knowledge of almost everything in the
compound," Young explained. "They knew where the gasoline was, they knew
where the generators were, they knew where the safe room was, they knew
more than they should have about that compound."
Ubben was severely injured defending the CIA Annex when mortar fire
rained down on the rooftop, killing former Navy Seals Tyrone Woods and
Glen Doherty and severely injuring a third CIA contractor who was
interviewed by the House Intelligence committee Thursday. After
multiple surgeries, a source close to the contractor confirmed he has
not regained the full use of his arm.
Asked if Ubben believed the terrorists had inside information, or had
done reconnaissance, Young told Fox, "Yes he (Ubben) did...It was
pretty well figured out, where everything was, where the doors were
located, where the safe room was - the whole thing."
