. . .the team inside the CIA annex had captured three Libyan attackers and was forced to hand them over to the Libyans. U.S. officials do not know what happened to those three attackers and whether they were released by the Libyan forces.

Read that; 'then' but did not think to wonder; at that point; 'who' forced the 'handover'. The Libyans; or our CIA?

I didn’t think about it. I figured circumstances forced them to. Too few hands to fight too many attackers. Preparing to evacuate at their first opportunity. How did they get away after Doherty and Woods were killed anyway? Seems like the attackers were gaining the advantage at that point.
