Doubts over story of Benghazi raid 'hero' Mr Davies gave a similar account in a book, called Embassy House, which was released last week. In it, he says he was saved from execution by Islamic militants by showing his British passport. But yesterday, reports in the US suggested that the dramatic narrative Mr Davies had given to the media was contradicted by the accounts he provided both to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and his British employers. In his FBI interview, the former soldier allegedly said he did not reach the scene until the morning after the raid, according to senior government officials quoted in The New York Times. And in an incident report written in his name for the Blue Mountain group, the small British company contracted to the US mission in Benghazi, Mr Davies allegedly said that he remained at his rented villa on the night of the attack, according to The Washington Post. CBS yesterday apologised for putting Mr Davies on air. "He said that he told the FBI the same story that he had told us," said Lara Logan, the interviewer. But what we now know is that he told the FBI a different story to what he told us. That was the moment for us when we realised that we no longer had confidence in our source. The publisher of his book, Simon & Schuster, said that it was withdrawing Mr Davies's book, and plans for a possible Hollywood film of his account were thrown into doubt. The State Department's handling of the Benghazi raid is at the centre of a political row as prominent Republicans have condemned security arrangements at the consulate. Hillary Clinton, who was Secretary of State at the time, will face questions over the events if she runs for president in 2016.
