It seems to me the assault was planned with deliberation and a mission. It was not a random event. The attackers knew when and where to attack with overwhelmning firepower to kill the ambassador.

Not only was the attack an intel failure for not seeing it coming, more important is the fact someone provided them with the relevant info to accomplish their mission. There was a total counterintel failure. There was a mole

But this administration is such a combination of destructive and incompetent that I wouldn’t be surprised if the mole turned out to be an American further up the food chain.
