Benghazi consulate attack: West Wales security firm link
Published: 18th Oct 2012 22:17:45
A Welsh firm was involved in security during a deadly attack at the US consulate in Benghazi, it has emerged.
US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the 11 September attack in Libya.
According to the Reuters news agency and other reports, Carmarthen-based Blue Mountain Group had been involved in guarding the consulate.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has criticised President Obama over his handling of the attack.
The attack was discussed in this week's second presidential election debate.
The security issue at the compound was raised last week at a US panel hearing.
The rancorous congressional committee hearing centred on whether the state department had sought enough diplomatic security staff for the mission.
