A CIA operative told a jury on Tuesday about the terror he experienced in 2012 when militants attacked the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, and described how he recovered the body of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens.
The operative, who testified in what the judge described as “light disguise” under the pseudonym “Alexander Charles,” was the latest witness to appear in the trial of Ahmed Abu Khatallah, who is accused of orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2012, attack that killed Stevens and three other Americans.
Charles said “all hell broke loose” shortly after he arrived at the CIA annex in Benghazi, which came under mortar fire. The mortars killed Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, and gravely injured two other Americans.
“You could feel the whole ground shaking,” Charles said, describing the attack. “Big blocks of cement (were) falling.”
He added that he thought it would be his “last night on this Earth.” Had the attacks continued, he said, he and the others would have been “buried alive.”
Khatallah was captured in 2014 in Libya by a team of U.S. military and FBI officials and taken to the United States aboard a Navy vessel.
The charges he faces include murder and providing material support to terrorists. Prosecutors say he helped organize the attacks, though he did not physically participate himself.
He has pleaded not guilty.

Why is he being tried, and not in GITMO awaiting a war crimes tribunal?
“Ahmed Abu Khatallah, who is accused of orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2012, attack...”
So did he shoot the youtube video, or was he just an actor?

Violation of truth in labeling laws.
“What difference at this point does it make?”
“What difference at this point does it make?”
One of the best researched and rehearsed lines ever.
She was responding to a question of why we were attacked at Benghazi.
Years later, and still no answer.
These Democrats who screamed about intervening in Vietnam, then attacked and destroyed the government of Libya.
And what was the function of the complex and warehouses at Benghazi? Discovery is nice.
Because Barack Odumbell decided to try Muslim terrorists in the US. That was one of his many stupid moves.
Will somebody with the skill please Photoshop in the missing, leading “dis-” on that name card?
61 months later and we still don’t know what happened. Scary but true.Now one CIA official testifies in disguise and we have no idea how many others were there and what happened to them.
A bit late isn’t it?
Hillary Clinton - Unofficial, unindicted co-conspirator
Clinton and Obama were willing to flat out sacrifice over 40 Americans but for the heroism of a handful of CIA contractors who disobeyed orders and ran to the sound of gunfire.
Yep. God bless those men.
Makes sense. Dems are always happy to support Communists, Muslim-Brotherhood Jihadis and any other of America's enemies.
