Terrorists who attacked the U.S. compound in Benghazi last year announced they were "here to kill Americans," according to a British citizen who was there and spoke with CBS' "60 Minutes."
The witness, a security officer who goes under the pseudonym Morgan Jones, is the first western eyewitness to speak publicly about the attack.
He told "60 Minutes" that on the night of Sept. 11, a guard in the compound called him to say they were under attack and that fighters were "all over the compound."
Jones said the Libyan guards were surrounded by the attackers, but were told: "We're here to kill Americans, not Libyans."
He said the attackers beat the Libyan guards with their rifles but let them go.
The full interview will air Sunday night.
Four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in the attack.
