An urgent request from CIA personnel to be allowed to go to the aid of the U.S. Consulate in Libya during the Sept. 11 attack was denied by U.S. officials, despite the fact that the team, which included at least one Navy SEAL, was only one mile away.
The officials twice told CIA officers to “stand down” rather than help the Americans when shots were heard in Benghazi.
Fox News reports that sources on the ground said that former Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods was part of a small team at a CIA annex near the consulate where Ambassador Chris Stevens and his team came under attack.
Stevens and three other Americans died in the attack.
When Woods and others heard the shots fired about 9:40 p.m., Fox reports, they notified their supervisors at the annex and requested permission to head to the consulate to help.
But the supervisors told them to "stand down," sources familiar with the exchange told Fox. Moments later, they were told the same.
