Eran ex Navy Seals, uno de ellos al menos tenía la misión de averiguar el paradero de misiles SAM e intentar recuperarlos.
Los eventos no quedan muy claros, parece que el consulado no fue muy defendido. Con el saqueo y los incendios, el embajador se refugió con otra persona en la "safe room". Los americanos junto a tropas libias, combatieron en el exterior para intentar retomar el control y en medio de los combates de 4h murieron los ex Seals . Al final como fracasó el plan de evacuación, falleció el embajador en hospital y su acompañante fue encontrado muerto en el edificio (Sean Smith, militar de las Fuerzas Áreas y experto informático, murió por axfisia)
Glen Doherty - two tours of duty in Iraq, starting with the U.S. invasion in 2003, before leaving the military in 2005. He then became a private security contractor, working in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen
Tyrone Woods- registered nurse and certified paramedic, served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. After retiring from the Navy, he worked in diplomatic security in posts from Central America to the Middle East.http://www.rtve.es/noticias/20120914/un ... 3219.shtmlUna versión posterior de la CNN. Se desconocen las heridas mortales del embajador y fue Sean Smith quien murió por axfisia. Solamente había 9 personas para defender el consulado.

Doherty and Woods, along with other security personnel, left the secure annex and made their way to the chaotic scene, rounding up the consulate staff who were under attack and guiding them back to the second safe building.
Their grim task also included recovering the body of computer expert Sean Smith, who had succumbed to smoke inhalation from a fire ignited by the attackers. The sources said diesel fuel was used to set the fire and the thick, black smoke created by the accelerant added to the confusion on the ground.
U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, who had gone missing during the attack, was not among those evacuated. He was later reported dead. The State Department has not released details about how Stevens died, though numerous media reports have said the ambassador was taken from the consulate to Benghazi Medical Center by locals.
After arriving back at the annex, the incident was far from over for the security team, which included Woods and Doherty. An attack was launched on the annex -- this one more intense than the initial assault on the main building.
Military officials in Benghazi told CNN that RPG were among the heavy firepower used by the attackers at the annex, with one official saying mortars were also fired."It was during that (second attack) that two additional U.S. personnel were killed and two others were wounded
