Sensitive documents related to delicate information about US operations in Libya are laying unguarded at the American consulate in Benghazi, more than three weeks after the attack on the compound which killed ambassador Christopher Stevens and three others.         

 

Documents detailing weapons collection efforts, emergencyevacuation protocols, the full internal itinerary of Ambassador Stevens's trip and the personnel records of Libyans who were contracted to secure the mission remained loosely secured at the looted compound, Washington Post reported quoting its reporter who managed to go inside.         

 

Although the gates to the Benghazi compound were locked several days after the attacks, looters and curiosity-seekers were free to roam in the initial chaotic aftermath, and many documents may have disappeared, the newspaper said.         

 

No government-provided security forces are guarding the compound, and Libyan investigators have visited just once, according to a member of the family who owns the compound.
