Authorities in Libya have named a leader of a Benghazi-based Islamist group as commander in the attack that killed the U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans last month, the New York Times reports.

Libyans involved in the investigation say Ahmed Abu Khattala was seen by witnesses as leading the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. Abu Khattala is leader of the Ansar al-Shariah, a militant group that wants to advance Islamic law in Libya, according to the the Times.

Libya’s government can target anyone they want to get rid of and Obama will be sending in the drones, but it must be before the debate next week. It’s his only hope.

Slight correction:

‘Libyan authorities doing the job that the Obama administration and the CIA will not do.’

Obama will probably throw a few missiles that way in the next few days for purely political reasons. His administration is the one that is arming AQ and the Islamists all over the Middle East right now!

No action at this point will absolve bambi.

I don't care who they arrest, kill, or write a stern letter to..bambi was sleeping at the wheel, then lied about it after the car crashed.

So it wasn't Bin Qumu, Hillary's pal?

This is Fuzzies pointing fingers at other Fuzzies .... they wouldn't send over the Ansar guys to protect Bin Qumu (and Hillary's prodigious ass), would they?

Would they?

Honor among Fuzzies? Honor among assassins?

I want Chuck Connors and the Fourth of the First on this one.

It was worse than that. They told Amb. Stevens and his guys that the airbags were to be left turned off, and they weren't allowed to fasten their seatbelts since that would be "politically sensitive". They sacrificed these guys cynically -- and then covered up the actual extent of the savagery of the attack and murders, which was comparable to other Al-Q'aeda attacks on Americans in Iraq.

They are lie, lie, lying, and they are covering up literally every fact they can about this incident.
