Are your families taken care of? But then asking what happened, because when you read the report, it's obvious there was no protest. There's no activity outside of the consulate. This thing started at 9:40pm when people stormed that gate. So there was no reason for this. Literally weeks of controversy. And quite honestly, now, four months we could have had these answers. And it's also important that we should have obtained those answers right away. (00:45–00:50)
