(CNSNews.com) - On Sept. 11, 2012, just two hours after the State Department first began notifying government agencies back in Washington--including the White House--that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was under attack by armed men, State sent out an email that went to at least two people in the White House that said the group Ansar al-Sharia had claimed responsibility for the attack.

The email, which was sent from a State Department address at 6:05 PM on Sept. 11, 2012, was obtained by CBS News and posted online by the news agency in a PDF file. This email and others posted by CBS News had certain elements redacted--particularly the exact identities of the person who sent it and the persons who received it.

The email sent at 6:05 P.M. on Sept. 11 was sent by a person using an @state.gov email address. The subject line said: "Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack (SBU)"

The body of the email said: "(SBU) Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli."

Prayers up for all our military & Americans in harm’s way - Obama is going to do something desperate before election day regardless of the cost to the country. Pat Caddell last night said ‘these guys will do ANYTHING to win’ and he thought Obama would be using a military strike before election day ... Doug Schoen finally agreed as well. Jimmy Carter is going to look like a saint when the full truth comes out about Obama.

Is this one of those militant groups that Glenn Beck has mentioned as getting arms from Obama/Stevens? If so, then many of us who said the RPGs, etc., that were used, were probably given them by the U.S.
