CAIRO — Libyan authorities have singled out Ahmed Abu Khattala, a leader of the Benghazi-based Islamist group Ansar al-Sharia, as a commander in the attack that killed the American ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, last month, Libyans involved in the investigation said on Wednesday.
Witnesses at the scene of the attack on the American Mission in Benghazi have said they saw Mr. Abu Khattala leading the assault, and his personal involvement is the latest link between the attack and his brigade, Ansar al-Sharia, a puritanical militant group that wants to advance Islamic law in Libya.

I wonder if Ahmed will take responsibility for the attack.
This is too prep for a Wag the Dog moment. The bombing will begin before the weekend. Count on it.
Now we know who—we can get him—blow up his house—or capture him or let the Libyans do it to him like he did it to our ambassador. Look to see Obama carry in the man’s head—in the next debate...
Rumor out there is Obama is going to take him out to nulify the situation.
Islamist? That must be liberal dog whistle for ‘terrorist.’
NY Times: Libya Singles out Islamist as Commander...
Give the source of this new zeal I read Obama’s going in and maybe soon.
November 3rd:
Obama: I hunted those responsible for the attack on our consul and killed their leader Ahmed Abu Khattala last night. Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your vote.
Sort of interesting to know that Qaddafi's kept the guy locked up. If we hadn't thrown him to the wolves, the Ambassador and our three contractors would almost certainly be alive today.
Poor sucker, somebody was going to be sacrificed! Didn’t make much difference as long as they had an Arab name and were related to the current cabal. Probably picked a few others to be sacrificed with him.
Obama now has an opportunity to show how he operates ....expect something. to happen.
Can he get it done before the Monday night debate?
Watch out for cruise missile attacks on tents and camels, stay away from Baby Milk Factories.
The question I have for Obama is why KSM is still alive and kicking, if we assassinate terrorists without a trial, even if they are not an imminent danger.
I don’t know who this guy is, that they’re trying to pin this Libya attack on, but I know that the early reports said that the brother of Ayman al-Zawahiri had been released from prison by the Egyptian government and had led an attack on our embassy there - I believe that was the one in which the US flag was replaced with an Islamist (Al Qaeda?) flag. And of course, Zawahiri released a tape early on 9-11 telling Libyans to avenge the drone-strike death of his #2-in-command. So both Zawahiris are associated with coordinated attacks on 9-11. The one Zawahiri brother after having been released from prison.
Does Obama really want to release these terrorists to “allies” such as Egypt, now that the Islamist government there is letting them loose to coordinate attacks on our embassy?
My questions for Obama, then:
Do you intend to release terror suspects to nations with Islamist regimes?
Do suspected terrorists deserve due process? Why or why not?
Why do you think Islamists on 9-11 held signs saying, “We are all Osama Bin Laden”?
Why do you think Lara Logan is saying that you have been lying to us about terrorism being on the run?
Why did you twice say no to assassinating Osama Bin Laden, so that the military only informed you of the Bin Laden mission when it was too late for you to say no again?
So this is ANOTHER instance where the “freedom-fighters” that Obama supported ended up releasing the terrorists that the previous government (an ally in the war on terror) had kept locked up - and that terrorist went out and attacked our embassy on 9-11.
The Egyptian attack led by Ayman al-Zawahiri’s brother being the other.
Seems to me like “Arab Spring” replaced our allies in Egypt and Libya (at the very least) with Islamist regimes that release terrorists so they can attack US.
Seems like Lara Logan is right; Obama has been lying to us about terrorists being on the run. Terrorists are rising to prominence all over the place - and they are attacking the US, right in our faces.
Somebody should also ask Obama if he regrets having said that if the political winds shift in an ugly direction, he would stand with the Muslims.
Arabs, they all look alike. Sure he can do it.
Did I say they all look alike, they don't, but no one will know who the h*ll he hits. And the strike will end the threat of terrorism.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Thanks Ernest.
We should demand that Libya turn him over, or we’ll consider it an act of war.
When we get him, we should lock him in a building while we burn it down.
Exactly!
