Security breaches were made leading up to the attacks.

• Attacks on other U.S. facilities occurred simultaneously in other areas of the world.
• There were no protests leading up to the day of the attacks- as suggested by the State Department.
• There was no spontaneous response from a video - during a protest- that led to attacks.
• Infiltration indicated by trip wires suggests that there was planning against the compound.
• Time of deployments by Marine security teams were miscalculated.
•  Foreign security forces at compound was inadequate and unwilling to properly respond to emergency situations.

  Conclusion on the Benghazi attacks of 2011:

   Ultimately, the State Department was responsible for security measures that failed. There was no response from a protest that led to violence. There was no planned attacks by terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaida. But locals seemed to have studied the area and did plan to attack the Embassy compound in accordance with planned attacks elsewhere in the world.
