Also:
"Not long after Stevens' appointment, the U.S. announced a program that sought to buy man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) that had gone missing in Libya. Glen Doherty, one of the former Navy SEALs who was killed in the Benghazi terrorist attack, was working in Libya for the state department to find and destroy the MANPADS, capable of shooting down commercial airliners. Meanwhile at the consulate, with Benghazi still flooded with weapons from the war, Ambassador Stevens and U.S. embassy staff were becoming increasingly concerned for their safety. Security threats were on the rise in the months leading up to the attack on the consulate in Benghazi. As noted earlier, Ambassador Stevens' last meeting was with the Turkish consul general and at least one source has suggested the meeting was to negotiate a weapons transfer; specifically, SA-7 MANPAD missiles from Libyan fighters. Interestingly, a week prior to the attack, a Libyan ship docked in Turkey with a large amount of weapons, including SA-7 MANPADS, bound for Syria."
