With the new info on the weapons smuggling to Syria, more than likely Steven's was supposed to be taken hostage as a cover for Obama putting their man into the al Quaeda ranks in Syria.

Based on what I saw in the Brett Baer special tonight ....I think we can discard "the attempted hostage gone bad"" theory.

The Seals were at the annex...the militants attacked the consultant first and came with diesel fuel and fired everything up without finding Stevens and Smith and an agent in the safe room.

some hours later they attacked the CIA annex and that is where the two Seals were killed.

The Special report is reasonably detailed in the attacks progressing thru the compound.
