A Libyan militant suspected in the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attack on Americans in Benghazi has been captured and is in U.S. custody, marking the first U.S. apprehension of an alleged perpetrator in the assault that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
President Barack Obama said Ahmed Abu Khattala, a senior leader of the Benghazi branch of the terror group Ansar al-Shariah in Libya, will "now face the full weight of the American justice system."
"The fact that he is now in U.S. custody is a testament to the painstaking efforts of our military, law enforcement, and intelligence personnel," said Obama, whose administration has come under intense criticism from Republicans for being unable to apprehend those responsible for the attack.
Abu Khattala, who will be tried in U.S. court, was captured by U.S. forces on Sunday and is being held in an undisclosed location outside of Libya, according to the Pentagon press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the capture makes clear that the U.S. is fulfilling its pledge to bring to justice those responsible.
"The capture of Abu Khattala is not the end of that effort but it marks an important milestone," Carney said.
Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador to be killed in the line of duty in more than 30 years.

Perfect.
So many wag the dog scenarios being concocted at once, covering up numerous wags before the next one coming.
Who IS on first, btw? ,)
Yeah, taking a slap on the wrist sure is gonna be tough!
Probably. He’s been interviewed by the western press several times.
He most certainly is. B^)
Just one of many I'm sure we keep tabs on.
Needed him now to distract from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Libya, Russia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Qatar, IRS, Benghazi, VA, Gitmo, US Invasion from Southern Border.
Chaffetz was referring to CNN's recent interview with Ahmed Abu Khattala, who Libyan and U.S. officials have described as the Benghazi leader of the al Qaeda-affiliated militia group Ansar al-Sharia -- one of many groups that filled the vacuum of authority following the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi.
I say, let’s put this new patsy in a cage match with the WON and let the winner walk.
They'll probably take him out to an aircraft carrier and throw him in the drink the same way they supposedly disposed of Osama.
They could have gotten this turd a long time ago. They held off until they needed a deflection from other problems they created. You watch, they will, in secret of course, offer this turd a deal if he says it was a video that caused Benghazi. This guy will get a get out of jail free pass in the next couple of years. He will get released on a Friday afternoon and we won’t hear about it until after the release. These Obama scum play the same games over and over. They do not care if they are lying because they know nobody will stop them.
Sorry if people are tired of hearing nobody will stop them, but it is a fact.
Now can we prosecute on the cover-up and lies and will he tell us where he was that night?
Recall that it was reported that one of the attackers yelled out “Dr. Morsi sent us.” Bet the Egyptians woulda squeezed that outa him!
Fall guy. Bet he’s zipped in his cell...
