WH ties al-Qaeda to September 11 ‘terrorist attack’ in Libya

President Obama’s spokesman now says that it is “self-evident” that the attack on the embassy in Libya, which claimed the life of a U.S. ambassador and other Americans, was “a terrorist attack,” in which al-Qaeda may have had a hand.

“It is, I think, self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters today. “Our embassy was attacked violently and the result was four deaths of American officials. So, again, that’s self evident.”
