The two US officials said the CIA station chief in Libya compiled intelligence reports from eyewitnesses within 24 hours of the assault on the consulate that indicated militants launched the violence, using the pretext of demonstrations against US facilities in Egypt against the film to cover their intent.

The report from the station chief was written late on Wednesday, Sep 12, and reached intelligence agencies in Washington the next day, intelligence officials said.
