Former Guantanamo detainee was on ground in Benghazi during terror attack, source says

A former Guantanamo Bay detainee with Al Qaeda ties was in Benghazi the night of the Sept. 11 attack, according to a source on the ground in Libya.

The source told Fox News that ex-detainee Sufian bin Qumu, who is suspected of running camps in eastern Libya where some of the assailants trained, is also a "respected member" of Ansar al-Sharia -- one of the Islamist groups identified in State Department email traffic two hours after the attack.

Two sources familiar with the investigation, when asked about bin Qumu's whereabouts the night of the attack, did not dispute the claim he was in Benghazi.

...

Fox News' ongoing reporting on the attack has shown that at least four key Benghazi suspects have ties to the Al Qaeda senior leadership in Pakistan. They include bin Qumu and Muhammad Jamal, whose network is also suspected of training jihadists for the attack. Jamal was held, and later released by, Egyptian authorities. Earlier this month, the State Department's terrorist designation for Jamal and his network cites letters he exchanged with Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, where Jamal asked for money and explained the scope of his training camps, which included Libya and the Sinai.

This 'catch and release' program hasn't worked out very well. I thought about adding the keyword 'Obamacrimes' but that applies to almost every article nowadays.

This can’t be. Dear Leader killed Bin Laden. It was a grueling and gutsy call by the way. Al Qeda is on the run. Let’s talk about immigration reform now.

He broke his promise not to go back to terrorism. Who'da thunk it?

I missed that one. It’s hard to keep up with every article on FR and still function in the real world. But I try.

P.S. That other article has like 50 keywords and ‘libya’ ‘guantanamo’ and ‘alqaeda’ aren’t among them.

It’s interesting to see how things shape up over time. Still as sickening as ever!
