Judicial Watch obtains State Dept. images of Benghazi attack

What took so long for information to be shared?

Judicial Watch has obtained seven photos from the State Department depicting the aftermath of the terrorist attack in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012.

The images are the first released by the State Department and were obtained through a Freedom of Information (FOIA) lawsuit.

According to Judicial Watch, the images seem to depict a burned and ransacked building, two burned vehicles and Arabic graffiti with militant Islamist slogans.

One of the messages translates to "Be strong with Allah."

"The fact that it took six months and a federal lawsuit to release these few photos tells you all you need to know about the Obama administration's Benghazi stonewall,"  Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.
