Ben Ghazi Gates is a ficticious name based on the four gates at the abandoned U.S. Consulate in Benghazi Libya--not the Watergate hotel of Nixon fame--where no one died. The four gates are the C-1 Main gate, C-2 rear gate (south), the B-1 gate (east of the main gate) and the most important gate--the security gate inside the Main Building that separates the private quarters from the public area. It was this last gate that cost two brave Americans their lives. Unlike a solid steel door, the security gate allowed enormous quantities of smoke from a terrorist spawned arson fire in the public area to freely blow into the "safe haven" of the private quarters killing Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and Information Specialist Sean Smith.
