[quote=MARRIE,364338]Update: More recently, before retiring, the Washington Post previously reported, Bennett, 57, had done stints as a contract worker, including training troops in Iraq. Cynthia Bennett, who had been hospitalized since the attack, is the director of procurement for the architect of the U.S. Capitol.

Update II: A CIA official said Monday, "At this point, there is absolutely no indication that Mr. Bennett’s murder had anything to do with his service with the army or the CIA. Naturally, you’d want to double-check with law enforcement, as it’s their investigation."

A spokesman for the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office told Foreign Policy Monday: "All I can say at this point is, We haven't ruled out any angle. Are there indications leading us in their direction? There is no indication leading us in that direction at this point but we certainly can't rule it out. Where we are in the investigation, we can't rule anything out." He said the LCSO has 13 investigators devoted full time to the case, and is being assisted by other federal agencies, including the FBI's Washington field office. He said last he heard as of Friday, Cynthia Bennett was still hospitalized in critical condition.

UPDATE III: The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office said in an April 7 update that they have now begun to be able to communicate with Cynthia Bennett and are seeking four to five individuals: "Loudoun County Sheriff’s Investigators have begun communicating with a Lansdowne woman who was brutally attacked last month on Riverside Parkway. ... Loudoun Deputies were initially called to the area around 5:38 a.m. on Sunday, March 22, 2009, for a report of a suspicious vehicle. The complainant stated they heard a commotion outside and observed a white panel van and several subjects outside. The van was further described as having no windows on either of the rear sides of the vehicle. The van returned to the area and left the scene again before authorities were contacted. A deputy arrived on the scene and conducted a foot patrol when the discovery was made. ... The Loudoun Sheriff’s Office is currently seeking four to five individuals involved in the attack of the woman and the homicide of her husband. All of these individuals have knowledge of the attack, but have varying degrees of involvement in the activities that took place that morning. The Sheriff’s Office is making an appeal to the public to be aware of anyone who may be exhibiting changes in their behavior since the day of the attack. ..."
