Report: Sensitive documents remain at Benghazi compound

More than three weeks after the U.S. Consulate in Libya was attacked, sensitive documents remain scattered about the compound and relatively unguarded, according to a new report.

A Washington Post reporter obtained documents at the compound Wednesday, which detailed U.S. operations and personnel records of Libyans working with the Americans.

The Post report said the documents were scattered across the floors of the looted compound. No government-provided security forces were guarding the facility, which Libyan investigators visited only once, a family member who owns the compound told the Post, allowing the reporter and a translator to enter Wednesday.

The document find comes after CNN last month obtained the journal of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the Sept. 11 attack on the compound. The State Department was outraged at the news outlet for reporting details in the journal about security concerns.

The documents obtained by the Post were not classified, but they showed that Americans at the mission discussed the possibility of an attack in early September on Sept. 9.

Other documents contained personal information regarding the Libyans providing security at the compound, and there were several itineraries showing the meetings Stevens was supposed to have with Libyan leaders during his visit.

FBI agents were sent to Libya to investigate the attack, but they have remained in Tripoli and not traveled to Benghazi due to security concerns.
