NEW Benghazi Hero Survivor provides gripping details for first time

While many members of Congress continue to be denied access to survivors of the Sept. 11 attack on our foreign mission in Benghazi, Fox News was able to secure an on-camera interview with one of them — a witness to both waves of attack.

Diplomatic Security agent David Ubben, who fought alongside both former Navy SEALs who lost their lives, was himself severely wounded in the 8-hour ordeal, nearly lost his right leg after it was shredded from a mortar round. He’s still being treated at Walter Reed medical center where he was interviewed by Fox News.



During the first wave of the attack, Ubben battled the smoke and flames of the consulate multiple times to get people out — alive or dead. In doing so, he was unable to locate Amb. Chris Stevens, but managed to retrieve the body of foreign service officer Sean Smith.

Sean Smith’s mother Pat said she hopes to meet Ubben in person some day.

“Thank you very much for what you’ve done,” Pat Smith said. ”Why couldn’t the government have done the same thing? I think (Ubben) is a hero. He absolutely is a hero along with the two SEALs that got it. There’s no reason for all these people to die.”

During the ordeal’s second wave, Ubben fought alongside former SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty on the roof of the security annex where the other two lost their lives and Ubben nearly lost a leg. Ubben remained on the roof for 20 hours before medical help finally arrived.

During those 20 desperate hours, the president slept, then awoke and addressed the nation in the Rose Garden where he attributed the tragedy to a protest against a YouTube video, He then hopped aboard Air Force-One to meet Jay-Z and Beyonce at a Las Vegas fundraiser.

'Benghazi: The Definitive Report'

'Benghazi: The Definitive Report' is a short read at just 83 pages. However, it is packed with little-known details and exclusive information and background about the consulate attack. Here are a few key excerpts from the book:

• (Deputy National Security Advisor) John Brennan also ran a highly compartmentalized program out of the White House in regard to weapons transfers, and Stevens would not have been trusted with that type of information. Stevens likely helped consolidate as many weapons as possible after the war to safeguard them, at which point Brennan exported them overseas to start another conflict.
• During the rebellion against Gaddafi and in the aftermath of his death, Libya and North Africa became a staging ground for a dizzying array of operations by SpecOps, paramilitary forces, and international private military contractors working for everyone from European nations to multibillion-dollar oil corporations.
• What we do know is that the British Special Air Service (SAS) landed in Libya at some point—probably the secretive intelligence gathering component of the SAS called 'The Increment,' which works alongside MI-6.
• Elite counter-terrorist operators from America’s Delta Force were deployed to Libya as 'analysts,' which allowed President Obama to declare that America did not have any boots on the ground but was simply providing air support for the rebels. The reality was that Delta Force had a small contingent instructing the rebels in the finer points of weapons and tactics.
• Behind closed doors, President Obama had given his counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, carte blanche to run operations in North Africa and the Middle East, provided he didn’t do anything that ended up becoming an exposé in The New York Times and embarrassing the administration. In 2012, a secret war across North Africa was well underway.
• With JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command), Brennan waged his own unilateral operations in North Africa outside of the traditional command structure. These Direct Action (DA) operations, unlike the traditional ISR missions mentioned above, were 'off the books' in the sense that they were not coordinated through the Pentagon or other governmental agencies, including the CIA. With Obama more than likely providing a rubber stamp, the chain of command went from Brennan to McRaven, who would then mobilize the men of ISA (Intelligence Support Activity), SEAL Team Six, or Delta Force to conduct these missions.
• With a small element launching from an airfield in a European nation, JSOC operations targeted Al Qaeda personalities within Libyan militia organizations. In the weeks before the Benghazi tragedy, they most likely hit a known associate of Al-Suri in order to get him to “up periscope” and increase his visibility, which would then make it possible for JSOC to run a targeted operation to kill or capture him.
• The aftermath of one of these secret raids into Libya would have grave consequences for all of them, including former Navy SEALs Ty Woods and Glen Doherty. SOFREP believes the Benghazi attack on 9/11/12 was blowback from the late-summer JSOC operations that were threatening the Al Qaeda-aligned militant groups (including Ansar Al-Sharia) in Libya and North Africa, now a leading base of operations for Islamic extremism.
