Omar Abdel-Rahman was sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for orchestrating plots to blow up the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels among other New York City landmarks. He was also convicted of the World Trade Center bombing that killed six people and injured more than 1,000.

Wasn’t ambassador Stevens busy supplying ISIS when they turned on him? The Lybian front was about arming the Syrian rebels.

Yes, his health was terrible and he not only required high security but enormous sums of medical care in various Fed Med hospitals over the years. Probably into 9 figures given that time span.

Yes, the Benghazi “consulate” was a gun running operation to the Syrian “rebels” (Isis/al-qeada).
The locals contracted to pull site security at the “consulate” were the local Al-Qeada affiliate.
Real brilliant example of Hillary’s “Smart Power” in action.

Meanwhile our Vets can hardly get decent care, if any care at all....disgusting when one thinks about it. This POS should have had a .45 round to the back of the head the day he was caught.

I agree. The real masterminds of this one were at the FBI.

My theory was always that it was supposed to be a Blind Sheikh for Stevens swap that went wrong..a few weeks prior there were rumors about the Blind Sheikh being released to Egypt as a “Good faith” gesture but the State Dept half ass denied it. When Benghazi went down I knew this had something to do with it

To think the first thing he “saw” in a long time was Saint Peter and a chute straight to Hades where is brethren who ran the planes into the WTC and the Pentigon were waiting to greet him...good.

Omar Abdel-Rahman was sentenced to life in prison in 1996...

He full filled his sentence, that's all we were asking for.
