From what I understand, it was a three round mission (one spotting round on target, two rounds fire for effect) that killed the two CIA contractors (former SEALS).
Five rounds total. First long (injuring Libyan "friendlies" inside the Annex compound), second short, last 3 struck the roof, inflicting the two American deaths and two very serious American injuries. It was the first and only mortar attack on Sept.11-12, and very possibly involved individuals who were nowhere near the Special Mission Compound 7 hours earlier.

As usual, you have the best information. Thanks.
A two round adjustment (where was the spotter?) in the dead of night leading to a three round fire for effect (and that was the only mission fired) lends itself to a greater degree of preparation that would be found in a local militia.
Not the brightest guy in the world, but I kind of know this Army stuff.
