Dec. 6, 2005 — It took only five seconds for al Qaeda terrorists to break into the U.S. compound in Jeddah in an attack that killed five people, according to tapes obtained exclusively by ABC News.
At 11:47 a.m., the terrorists take down the American flag in front of the consulate. After that, out of the sight of the cameras, they take four U.S. employees and a local guard hostage, all of whom are later killed. Ten others under the protection of the U.S. consulate will be injured.
The State Department maintains to this day that the response to the attack was successful because no U.S. citizens were harmed.
Of course, the US claims the attack was unsucessfull, Americans were not hurt. It is great to see they care so much about the other people that were killed. As I quote the former White House counterterrorism adviser Richard Clarke -
"When U.S. government employees are killed on embassy grounds or consulate grounds, that's a failure no matter how you look at it," he said.
