Benghazi suspect pleads not guilty in connection to terror attack
Fox News ^ | June 28, 2014 | Catherine Herridge

Ahmed Abu Khatallah, the Libyan militant charged in the 2012 Benghazi attacks, will face a federal judge Saturday afternoon for an initial court appearance, authorities confirmed to Fox News.

At that time, the government is expected to outline the charges against him.

Khatallah is being held at a federal courthouse in D.C. amid tight security, Department of Justice spokesman William Miller said.

He was flown to Washington by helicopter shortly after sunrise from a navy warship, where he had been held since his capture nearly two weeks ago.

Khatallah is accused of being involved in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Libya that led to the deaths of former U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, and former navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

I think people will see through a show trial but who knows.

I doubt they read him his rights when they took him in, so I see him getting away with it based on a technicality.

"Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a deal where he testifies that the YouTube Video caused all of this in exchange for a deal with the Obama/Holder DOJ for a light sentence as only a minor participant in the attacks. "

Spot on!

That's why it took so long to get him back to the USA. They weren't interrogating him, they were prepping him.

Has he had time to memorize his blame-the-video script yet?

He’s going to get off:

He’s entitled to know the evidence against him and his lawyers KNOW our spook outfits are nuts about never disclosing sources and methods, exactly the same the intel organs of any state.

Even if he’s guilty as heck the CIA et. al. will vastly prefer letting this guy go over giving away the crown jewels, or even probably the tiniest little faux diamond.

He’ll swear up and down his motive was the video, which is the entire (political) reason that he was brought in at all.

He’s going to get off.
