I took a year and a half, but the State Department finally listed the terrorist groups responsible for the Benghazi attack.

The department announced that it was labeling Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi and Ansar al-Sharia in Darnah as terror organizations, in part over their role in the Benghazi attack. It applied the same label to Ansar al-Sharia in Tunisia, over a separate attack on Americans in Tunis.
The State Department also labeled as terrorists Sufian bin Qumu, head of the Darnah branch and a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, and Ahmed Abu Khattalah, head of the Benghazi branch.
But how can this be? I thought it was a ‘phony scandal’ and the New York Times said there was no terrorism involved at all in the Benghazi attack last month in their propaganda article.
