Navy Seals Killed in Libya Not Regular Ambassador Security

[From article]
Those briefed on the latest intelligence say investigators are trying to determine when and why Stevens’ official State Department security team got separated from the ambassador when the attacks occurred the evening of Sept. 11. The separation of the team from the ambassador remains one of the more serious matters under review, the officials said.

U.S. officials clarify administration description of two heroes in Libya attack
Ex-Navy Seals weren't part of ambassador's security detail but rose to occasion, officials now confirm UPDATED 21:58 PM EDT, SEPTEMBER 19, 2012

Why It Matters: The Obama administration's initial account of the Libyan consulate attack didn't give the full story about two ex-Navy SEALs who helped repel the security breach until they were killed. Now officials are confirming those two heroes' real jobs at the embassy along with evidence of ties between the attack and al-Qaida.
