the judge told him to save that for another court. the suspect then went on to deny the charges against him. investigators say that suspect and another man, planned to below blow up the railroad bridge just as a train traveling between toronto and new york crossed. prosecutors say the men support have support from members of al qaeda group in iran. not the state itself. the iranian foreign minister spoke about the case on state tv. calling the alleged link between al qaeda and iran the most hilarious thing he had heard in his 64 years. the state department here in the u.s. is disputing a report by some house republicans about the attack on the u.s. outpost in benghazi. as we reported here last night, democrats call it a one-sided political report. the attack killed the u.s. ambassador to libya, chris stevens. the state department official sean smith and two former navy seals tyrone woods and glen dority. according to the house republican report. former secretary of state hillary clin
were plea paired for a wide range contingencies. i just remind you that the nctc in the six months prior to that attack identified some 281 threats to u.s. diplomats, diplomatic facilities, embassies, ambassadors, and cons let s worldwide. and obviously benghazi was one of those almost 300 areas of concern. but unfortunately there was no specific intelligence or indications of an imminent attack on that u.s. facility in benghazi. and, frankly, without an adequate warning there was not enough time, given the speed of the ae attack, or armed military assets to respond. that is not just my view, or general dempsey s view, it was

general hamm, i directed several specific actions. first, we ordered a marine fleet antiterrorism secure team, a fast team stationed in spain to prepare to deploy to benghazi. a second fast platoon was ordered to prepare to deploy to the embassy in tripoli. a special operations force, which was training in central europe was ordered to prepare to deploy to an intermediate staging base in southern europe. and a special operations force based in the united states was ordered to deploy to an intermediate staging base in southern europe as well at siganela. some have asked why some other types of armed aircraft president bush not dispatched to benghazi. ththe reason simply is that
