Petraeus always believed al-Qaida was behind Benghazi, U.S. rep says

Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified this morning that his agency immediately believed the Sept. 11 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was coordinated by al-Qaida, but that that information was taken out of talking-points documents sent to administration officials, according to Rep. Peter King (R-NY). Petraeus supposedly made the statement during a closed-door hearing before Congress; if true, it would contradict the White House's initial statement that the attack was spontaneous and the result of anger over an anti-Islamic video. King spoke to reporters after the hearing and said Petraeus asserted his agency's belief that "this was a terrorist attack" right from the start. [Source]
