U.S. efforts stall in capturing suspects in 2012 Benghazi attacks, officials say

U.S. officials say efforts have stalled to capture about a dozen people secretly charged in the 2012 attack on the American compound in Benghazi that claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

The individuals have been charged in sealed criminal complaints filed in federal court by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia. They include one of the suspected ringleaders of the attack, Ahmed Abu Khattala, a militia leader with ties to ­al-Qaeda,­ said several U.S officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

So far, none have been brought to trial and the lack of progress in capturing Khattala has frustrated U.S. intelligence officials and lawmakers who want to see him and the others prosecuted. One official said that Khattala continues to operate in eastern Libya with impunity.

It’s not easy searching for “Secret “ people indicted in “Sealed” criminal complaints.

Especially when no one is really looking.

This is all a farce to keep the public fooled.

We already know where the #1 enabler of the terrorist attack is.

I would think competent law enforcement officials would have little trouble locating accomplices Obama and Hillary.

The regime doesn't want anybody talking to the terrorist who killed ambassador Stevens while they were working for Morsi and obama. The planned kidnapping of Stevens and exchange for the blind freak was an act of treason. I am surprised these terrorist are still above ground.

If they were caught, they might say something about what the US was doing in Benghazi and in Libya.

They could have rounded up or killed these guys last year if they really wanted them. The government is afraid of what these people might say in open court. My theory is they were hired by the Syrians, the Iranians or the Russians to disrupt the U.S. directed arms transfer between Libya and the Syrian rebels.

This is a Threat Matrix list documenting threats within and without. Anyone wanting on or off please advise.

If they are clearly seen as doing absolutely NOTHING to catch the perps then they get flack. On the other hand, if they sent out our SF to the cold of the desert and then our guys perform so well that noteworthy snatches are pulled off, well, then that’s a reeeeal can of worms:

Under interrogation a high profile muzzie might spilli some stinky beans; “Barack is our pal and we did what he ASKED us to do...!”

A man who exports machine guns to Mexican narcos specifically to generate grisly murder headlines —would Barak also make common cause with the perps of Bengazi...?

EVERY american spook and troop shivering in the Libyan night to find the perps is being sent out to FAIL and rest assured if they report back to ValJar that they’re making good progress...?

Well you can rest assured their gear will get stolen or a most unfortunate accident will happen to them.

Those men are tasked strictly so Barack can SAY that they are and not one micrometer further.
