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.

Re: How come Obama didn’t make a public announcement 5 minutes after this supposed event happened? He normally can’t contain himself.
Obama “supposedly” OK’d this Friday night. In reality, military probably went ahead with capture after O left DC for his last fundraiser. But now O will call them “MY Special Forces team”.... (and figure out with DOJ how to keep this guy quiet — stonewall, stonewall, stonewall)
Maybe, but this just puts Benghazi back in the news, when a strong plurality (or majority) of people say there are unanswered questions that need to be answered. This raises one more question. Since this guy has been lounging around drinking strawberry frappes, why has he not been captured earlier?
I was just listening to Rush and he predicts within a week this guy will be saying it was the video that made them do it.
It is so disheartening that I do not trust this story or any story President Jarret puts out there.
It was the video
Benghazi leader says it was the video
Today we have proof that it was the video in the admission of the terrorist leader - MSNBC
It was the video
It was the video
It was the video
It was the video
It was the video
It was the video
- clapping seals of the Praetorian Media
It will be repeated so often that everyone will forget what most of us know understand.
And Obama will declare than anyone who denies that Benghazi was the result of the video believes the moon is made of cheese and does not believe in Global Warming.
I would want to know details of his apprehension, but i’m sure the emails have been destroyed by now.
Zzzzzzz.
You don’t wag the dog very well, BO.
How convenient!
When I heard this morning that a suspect from the Benghazi attack was arrested I was assuming they arrested Obama..or Hillary Clinton..but this guy will end up being the fall guy
Did they capture his video library with him???
Probably part of the prisoner swap.
He’s been going to the same coffee cafe in Tripoli for 2 years.
I bet Israel did it, then handed him over to us.
............................How come Obama didn’t make a public announcement 5 minutes after this supposed event happened? He normally can’t contain himself.................
Probably didn’t have enough extension cords to get TOTUS set up on the fourteenth tee!
Gee, wasn’t the current leader of ISIS once secured in American custody? I believe he was and Obama released him in 2009.
But clapping crickets when it comes to the IRS scandal.
shocka.. they found a guy willing to blame the attack on a video.
This was done for the interview with Bret Baier and Greta Van Sustren.
If this guy was getting news interviews since the Benghazi terrorist attacks, and they just decide to arrest him the same day Hillary goes on Fox News?
Sure...
What difference does it make!
You think the average citizenry will hear of what he has to say? HAHA! OTOH, it’d be superb if Gowdy could get his deposition! OTOOH, this guy’s probably just the real ringleader’s “Tony Vietor”.
