Just thinking about some of the things that came out about Benghazi and then to see these two articles, make me think there just might be a connection.

The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and foreign diplomats.

During the frantic early months of the Libyan rebellion, various players motivated by politics or profit — including an American arms dealer who proposed weapons transfers in an e-mail exchange with a United States emissary later killed in Benghazi — sought to aid those trying to oust Colonel Qaddafi.

al Qaeda formed out of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, where al Zawahiri was a leiutenant. (and trained by the KGB).  Then the group moved into Afghanistan and joined up with Osama and Zawahiri became second in command.  This was an outcropping of our cold war with the Soviet Union.
