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.

Hillary has a book tour to work on and this is JUST PERFECT timing for her. What a coincidence.
Looks like the White House is looking for some good PR.
It pisses me off. They always pull a rabbit out of the hat when they are in a bind. They had been watching this guy for six months and suddenly need to capture him? Why not three months ago??????? So dang crazy. I think this is why he has decent approval ratings because he seems to always take away the attention of the American people (unaware types) who see a new shiny penny and forget about that yukky news from yesterday. Obama Administration is either brilliant or just dang evil.....
Since WHEN have we have troops in Libya???
Looks like the timing is too perfect, Obama lets go 5 top AQ guys...to capture 1 “mastermind” so they can get an excuse for BEnghazi..this thing stinks to high...
If this is one of the guys responsible for killing Americans, it’s a great day. I’m looking forward to the trial. Should answer a lot of questions.
he was living openly .....wasn’t involved at all....but now they will tell him to say that it was all because of a Youtube OR HE WILL DIE IN PRISON.
LOL
This guy will be “gag-ordered” and his testimony will be termed a threat to national security and lost for the duration of the proceedings. Sad, but this is the way it works.
