I think that it’s going to turn out that Ty Woods had no more than a garden-variety LAD on his personal rifle, something like a PEQ15 etc. Infrared or green laser, but even infrared is “visible” today in a city like Benghazi, where so many jihadists floated back and forth to Iraq and A-stan to fight the Ameriki crusaders.

My conjecture is that a reporter chatted with one of the other (still anonymous) shooters, and heard that Ty was using his laser on the roof. Of course he would be in that situation, along with a NOD, he would be slaughtering terrorists out to about 300+ yards.

The LAD might have even been mounted on the still-unidentified “machine gun on the roof.”

We are taking fragmentary factoidsd jotted down by reporters talkint to whom we don’t know, and spinning entire novels from pure guesswork.

I believe we’ll find out the Predators were unarmed from the get-go, and no other U.S. aircraft were over Benghazi.

The Annex team also had Ground Laser Designators, or GLD. This kind of laser equipment emits code and signal when there is overhead air support, unmanned aerial surveillance, drones or Spectre gunships, for instance.
