Emails reveal White House knew terror group behind Benghazi attack
On Tuesday, Reuters reported that emails obtained from anonymous government sources show that the State Department and the White House knew within two hours that an Islamist militant group had taken credit for the September 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
According to Reuters, the emails "specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks." Greta van Susteren wrote that the State Department said the group is affiliated with al Qaeda.
The emails also indicate that diplomats described the events as they were taking place.

Emails show the Obama administration knew Ansar al Sharia was behind the attack in Benghazi
Per Pergram-Capitol Hill
Fox has obtained a set of internal emails which declare that the group Ansar al Sharia claimed responsibility of the attack in Benghazi virtually as the raid played out on September 11th.
Ansar al Sharia has been declared by the State Department to be a an al Qaeda affiliated group. The emails were sent by the State Department to across a variety of redacted national security platforms including the White House Situation room, the Pentagon, the FBI, the Director of National Intelligence and the State Department. Fox is told that approximately 300-400 national security figures received these emails in real time almost as the raid was playing out and concluding. Fox is told that figures directly receiving these emails work directly underneath the nation’s top national security, military and diplomatic officials.
The first email indicates that Ambassador Chris Stevens and other personnel were “in the compound safe haven.”
The timestamps on the emails are all eastern time and often include the subheading SBU…which is shorthand for “Sensitive But Unclassified.”
The redacted email address @nss.eop.gov is the White House Situation address. The email address extension @dni.gov is the an extension that goes to figures working under the Director of National Intelligence.

Fmr Amb John Bolton: New Benghazi Emails Reveal 'Incredibly Stupid Cover-up' - YouTube
(Reuters) – Officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit for the attack, official emails show.
The emails, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mention that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.
The brief emails also show how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington.
U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Benghazi assault, which President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials ultimately acknowledged was a “terrorist” attack carried out by militants with suspected links to al Qaeda affiliates or sympathizers.
Administration spokesmen, including White House spokesman Jay Carney, citing an unclassified assessment prepared by the CIA, maintained for days that the attacks likely were a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim film.
While officials did mention the possible involvement of “extremists,” they did not lay blame on any specific militant groups or possible links to al Qaeda or its affiliates until intelligence officials publicly alleged that on September 28.
