Benghazi Killings Suspect Abu Khatallah Now In U.S. -- CNN
Washington (CNN) -- Ahmed Abu Khatallah -- the man the U.S. accuses of being the ringleader in the 2012 attack on the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya -- has been brought to federal court in Washington, a U.S. official confirmed Saturday.
He had been interrogated aboard the USS New York after being captured earlier this month.
Abu Khatallah was awaiting an appearance before a federal judge in Washington after being flown from the ship, an amphibious transport dock, to the nation's capital.
Authorities say Abu Khatallah is among the senior leaders of Ansar al Sharia, whose members were among several militias that participated in the attacks on U.S. government facilities in Benghazi on September 11-12, 2012. The attacks killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.

My Comment: Here is an easy prediction .... this case is going to take years to be resolved.
I'm skeptical. I reckon the administration was so fed up with the finger pointing at them over the Benghazi issue that they decided to kidnap a random libyan and held him to account.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't surprise me at all.
You are probably right D. Plowman. There are many parts of this case that do not add up .... starting with the suspect that they now have in custody.
ReplyDeleteMy fear is that terrorists will pull a Beslan or something to free any terrorists on trial in New York city.
ReplyDeleteThe optics of it are almost too much for a terrorist to pass up.
Yet out stupid politicians of certain stripe insists on the civil trial circus.
