APPARENTLY, IT IS A CLOSELY KNIT AP GROUP WITH HQ IN CAIRO THAT HAS SENT OUT THE INFO NOT JUST ON THE YEMEN SIDE OF TERROR , BUT ALSO AT THE FRONT OF THE BENGHAZI CONSULATE ATTACK STORY; WITH EMPHASIS ON THE ANTI-MUSLIM VID DONE BY SAM BACILE.


AL-HAJ INTERPRETATION OF THE BENGHAZI CONSULATE ATTACK ON 9/11/2012 COMES UNDER REVIEW:

By Tom Blumer | October 11, 2012 | 09:20The Associated Press, after an initial acknowledgment in a Tuesday evening timeline from Bradley Klapper, has consistently failed in several subsequent reports to cite State Department officials' unmistakable assertion that there were no protests whatsoever at the Benghazi, Libya U.S. consulate on September 11 before the lethal terrorist attack which killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Instead, later reports create the impression that protests did occur.

It's even getting carried into coverage of different events. In his story (link is to early paragraphs of original version) about the Thursday morning murder of a security official at the U.S. embassy in Yemen, the AP's Ahmed Al Haj (identified as the reporter in the item I originally saw, since revised) betrayed the wire service's uninterrupted obsession with "an anti-Islam video," and wrote as if nothing learned in the past two days has any validity (bolds are mine throughout this post):

BE ADVISED A NUMBER OF THESE NAMES ARE ALSO RELATED TO DETAILS SURROUNDING THE BENGHAZI ATTACK...WHICH MAY BE ANOTHER REASON WHY THE DOJ IS ANXIOUS TO PREVIEW THE PHONE RECORDS...

ASSOCIATED PRESS & BELMOKTAR FICTION STORY

FROM: INTEL
SUBJ:  YET ANOTHER BIG STORY FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NOW THE WASHINGTON POST HAS BROUGHT US A BIG EXCLUSIVE FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ABOUT THE RENEGADE SAHARA OUTLAW, MOKTAR BELMOKTAR, AKA "MR. MARLBORO"

"DAKAR, Senegal — After years of trying to discipline him, the leaders of al-Qaida’s North African branch sent one final letter to their most difficult employee. In page after scathing page, they described how he didn’t answer his phone when they called, failed to turn in his expense reports, ignored meetings and refused time and again to carry out orders.
Most of all, they claimed he had failed to carry out a single spectacular operation, despite the resources at his disposal."



THE REST OF THE STORY IS HERE:

BORDERING ON THE LUDICROUS, IT OPENS WITH THE NOTE THAT AP REPORTERS WERE SNOOPING AROUND AN ABANDONED BUILDING VACATED BY RETREATING FORCES IN MALI, WHERE THEY OVERLOOKED A COPY OF "HITLERS DIARIES" , ALSO LOCATED AT THE SAME PREMISES, AND BROUGHT US THIS BREAKING STORY BY AN EVEN BIGGER CRIMINAL.

IT CONTINUES ON HOW THE STRUGGLING M OKTAR, OUT TO MAKE A NAME FOR HIMSELF, BUMBLED SOME BIG JOBS AND FAILED TO GET HIS SITREPS IN ON TIME, SO HE QUIT THE CLUB, OR IS THAT AL-QAIDA.

SOMEONE WILL SIURELY GET THE "PEW"-LITZER PRIZE FOR THIS STORY, AS IT STINKS OF FABRICATION AND LIES, FROM THE SAME AP MIDDLE EAST CROWD THAT BROUGHT US THE SAMMY BACILE YOUTUBE VIDEO STORY ON WHY THE BENGHAZI AMERICAN CONSULATE WAS ATTACKED AND BURNED TO THE GROUND IN SEPTEMBER, 2012.
