Some Algeria Attackers Are Placed at Benghazi
The New York Times ^ | Tuesday, January 22, 2013 | Adam Nossiter

Several Egyptian members of the squad of militants that lay bloody siege to an Algerian gas complex last week also took part in the deadly attack on the United States Mission in Libya in September, a senior Algerian official said Tuesday.

The Egyptians involved in both attacks were killed by Algerian forces during the four-day ordeal that ended in the deaths of at least 38 hostages and 29 kidnappers, the official said. But three of the militants were captured alive, and one of them described the Egyptians’ role in both assaults under interrogation by the Algerian security services, the official said.

But the Algerian official did not say why the captured kidnapper’s assertion — that some fighters had taken part in both the Benghazi and Algerian attacks — should be considered trustworthy. Nor did he say whether it was obtained under duress.

Instead, he focused on the chaos unleashed by the recent uprisings throughout the region, leaving large ungoverned areas where extremists can flourish.

“This is the result of the Arab Spring,” said the official said, who spoke on condition of anonymity because investigations into the hostage crisis were still under way. “I hope the Americans are conscious of this.”

NOW they are DEAD former Bengazi terrorists.

I just wish Osama (Obama) had the cahonies to do something proactive then there probably would not have been an incident in Algeria.

I think it’s just part of Barry’s private, mercenary, muslim brotherhood army tasked to foment unrest and instability in countries the muslims want for their caliphate.

I think he wanted the outcome do you think it was by chance?
Not me I think Obama is loving Americans getting killed and I bet he got a super thrill when the Ambassador was killed he probably ordered it and I am not joking.

I suspect BHO2 allowed the killing of the Ambassador and other Americans in Benghazi.

I want to make something clear: BHO2 is a Marxist/Leninist. He avowed that in his autobiography, and as such is an atheist. He is only Muslim or Christian when it is politically advantageous.

I suspect he is using the Muslim Brotherhood to destroy whatever emerging capital markets existed in North Africa and the Middle East, as that is also an aim of the MB.

Obama uses everyone who supports him, and then double crosses them when he is through using them. He values NO ONE - save himself.

Amb. Chris Stevens was murdered because he knew too much about BHO2’s running weapons to Al Qaida forces in Syria. This violates any trust the Saudi Arabians had in BHO2, who’s education was paid by the Saudi Royal family.

We do know he sides with the muslims, so it only makes sense his aligning of the caliphators is for the flipping of Israel. His proxies are purely a ruse and at America’s expense consequently he has all the muslims laughing at the stupid infidels.

I can assure you that what ever happens to Israel happens to Europe and America.... and not necessarily in that order.

Tribes in Libya, what tribes? I remember that Qaddafi was attacked because he was going after the Gazi. Now look where we are. It will take ten years to use up this left over junk.
