The U.S. State Department has officially named specific groups as being responsible for the 2012 Benghazi attack.

According to State Department officials, Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi and Darnah are now officially terrorist organizations designated in part because of their roles in the Benghazi attacks.  The heads of the two organizations, Sufian bin Qumu and Ahmed Abu Khattalah, were also designated as most wanted terrorists.

Both groups have been accused of also attacking civilian targets, frequent assassinations and attempted assassinations of security officials.

The State Department tried to downplay any connection with Al-Qaeda saying the groups acted alone but Fox News was able to confirm that the leaders have been trained in al-Qaeda camps.
