U.S. captures Benghazi suspect in secret raid
The Washington Post ^ | June 17, 2014 | Karen DeYoung,, Adam Goldman and Julie Tate

U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend, the first time one of the accused perpetrators of the 2012 assault has been apprehended, according to U.S. officials.

The officials said Ahmed Abu Khattala was captured near Benghazi by American troops, working alongside the FBI, following months of planning, and was now in U.S. custody “in a secure location outside Libya.” The officials said there were no casualties in the operation, and that all U.S. personnel involved have safely left Libya.

If this is true it should be applauded, despite the late date and the timing.

Sorry, but this admin is not to be trusted, as I'm sure you've noticed. The news for them has been almost all negative since the beginning of this year, and Obama's numbers are dropping, so this smacks of a PR stunt. Who knows if this guy was even involved at Benghazi? And since when does an unplanned demonstration have a ringleader? These were supposedly impromptu demonstrations against a ridiculous YouTube video that may well have been made by someone working for the Obama admin.

Sorry, but like a lot of what comes out of this admin, it doesn't pass the smell test.

It’s probably the same guy they perp-walked (with jacket over his head) for making the video which launched a thousand jihads.

All purpose terrorist suspect whenever one is needed.

My thoughts exactly. CNN interviewed the guy a year ago, he was “hiding in plain sight” and reports that no one appeared to be looking for him. Egg on face of FBI/CIA/Obama.

Every thing Obama does is political

Regarding AQ and ISIS or Anwhar al sharia. Barack is a far more dangerous American enemy and has done exponentially more harm to our Republic

I have seen many people agree with the above. Not people one would normally expect.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! A terrorist ringleader???

They mean one of the mob leaders of a violent demonstration, right?

You know, one who leads a spontaneous, unorganized mob? The sort of violent, unruly, rabble that might form immediately after watching, say, an anti-Muslim video or something? Right? Riiight??? /s

Savage said today they will offer him a plea deal if he goes with the Video story. Agree with that.
