13 Hours part 4
As chapter 3 begins the Mark (author) starts to talk about Christ Stevens and says his military background. Which includes experiencesome at Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel. He has various interferences with anti-Government forces which makes him a great person to deal with what's happening in Libya. The rest of the chapter just talks about how Stevens is the right guy to be in Libya. Chapter 4 starts and it's 9/11 of 2012. It was the day that the trailer for "Innocence of Muslims" and that infuriated the Islamic and they stormed the US embassy in Cairo and replaced the American flag with a black jihadist flag. As night fell a truck pull into the Annex, as it past through the gate several dozen men jumped out and stormed through the entrance. No alarm was sound so the attackers face little to no resistance. They took control of the facility, they used diesel fuel to set parts of the compound on fire. The 7 Americans in the compound all take defensive positions. They seek help from a group named the February 17 fighters but the Americans can't communicate with them so they grab a civilian who can. When they finally connected with them, they asked for air and ground support. As they approach the compound they get confirmation that they're around 20-30 men armed with AK-47.
