This is false.
No. It’s true.
You are mistaken.
The attack
The assault on the Benghazi consulate[16] consisted of two separate attacks that forced the Americans from the consulate and then besieged them in a second building in a gunbattle that lasted four and half hours, according to a detailed timeline from a senior administration official.[17] According to the U.S. State Department, at 10:00 p.m. CAT, the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was attacked by gunmen, who in minutes gained entry into the compound. A Libyan security guard who was wounded in the attack said in an interview that the area was quiet “until about 9:35 pm, when as many as 125 armed men descended on the compound from all directions.”[18]
