At least two of the key suspects in the Benghazi terror attack were at one point working with Al Qaeda senior leadership, sources familiar with the investigation tell Fox News.
The sources said one of the suspects was believed to be a courier for the Al Qaeda network, and the other a bodyguard in Afghanistan prior to the 2001 terror attacks.
The direct ties to the Al Qaeda senior leadership undercut early characterizations by the Obama administration that the attackers in Benghazi were isolated extremists" -- not Al Qaeda terrorists -- with no organizational structure or affiliation.
The head of the House Intelligence Committee, Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., who receives regular intelligence briefings and whose staffers continue to investigate the Benghazi terrorist attack, would not discuss specific suspects or their backgrounds.
But he said the ties to Al Qaeda senior leadership, also known as Al Qaeda core, are now established.
It is accurate that of the group being targeted by the bureau, at this point, theres strong Al Qaeda ties, Rogers told Fox News. "You can still be considered to have strong ties because you are in the ring of operations of Al Qaeda core. ... There are individuals that certainly fit that definition."

I’m sure these key suspects are, right now, being hunted down and held accountable, right? ?
This can’t be true. Our Dear Leader assured us he has Al Qaeda “on the run” after he defeated Osama in single combat.
Yep, the you tube poster was in jail minutes after the attack.
“...the group targeted by the bureau...”
I’ll bet at the agent level they aren’t witting to the fix that’s in and they’re actually WORKING HARD to catch them...!
Oh, man, that is SAD....!
Sooo glad I’m not one of the idiots working at the FBI...!

Obama is soft on Muzzies.
Agree on Petraeus.
He is a very weak man, and should never have held so high a position.
Some day he will pay for his indiscretions. He’s probably full of STD’s.
