'60 Minutes' reviewing account of Benghazi attack witness Nov 8th 2013, 02:21 Published November 07, 2013 FoxNews.com Sept. 11, 2012: A protester reacts as the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi is seen in flames during a terrorist attack which claimed the lives of four Americans.Reuters 60 Minutes announced late Thursday it was reviewing the credibility of a purported Western eyewitness to the deadly Benghazi terror attacks who gave a harrowing description of events and claimed Americans knew such an incident was inevitable. "60 Minutes" has learned of new information that undercuts the account told to us by Morgan Jones of his actions on the night of the attack on the Benghazi compound," the network said. "We are currently looking into this serious matter to determine if he misled us, and if so, we will make a correction." CBS gave no further details but details of his account had been challenged. The Washington Post said he had given a different account of his experiences to his employer after the attack. Morgan Jones was a pseudonym for a former British soldier who for decades helped protect U.S.diplomats and military leaders and was supervising local guards the night of the Sep. 11, 2012 assault. He told "60 Minutes" that Al Qaeda forces first attacked the U.S. Special Mission Compound, where Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed. Then they launched a second attack on a secret CIA annex about a mile across the city. "They knew what they were doing," he told CBS. "That was a well-executed attack." The guard said he was in his apartment about 15 minutes away from the attacks when he learned of them through a frantic phone call from a Libyan guard. "I could hear gunshots," said the guard, "And he said, 'There are men coming into the mission' … You could tell he was really scared and he was running." The guard said that when he asked for details the other guard said: "We're getting attacked. … They're all over the compound." Jones also said Al Qaeda tried to kill a British ambassador in Benghazi three months before the attack on the anniversary of 9/11. He added that the terror group said online that it would attack the Red Cross, the British, and then the Americans in Benghazi. "They made good on two out of the three promises," the guard said. "It was a matter of time till captured the third one. … [Washington] knew we monitored it. We included that in our reports to both State Department and" the Department of Defense.
