U.S. captures Benghazi suspect in secret raid

U.S. captures Benghazi suspect in secret raid

By Karen DeYoung, Adam Goldman and Julie Tate June 17 at 11:19 AM

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.

Khattala’s apprehension is a major victory for the Obama administration, which has been criticized for having failed so far to bring those responsible for the Benghazi attacks to justice.

Maybe this will shut up the Benghazi bullshit from the baggers?

Nah, they won't stop it, they hate everything about Obama and Benghazi is just one of their excuses for railing against him.

I expect they will denounce the operation as a sham, with this guy selected to 'take one for the team' to make the chief terrorist, the Kenyan usurper in our White House, look good, just as the righteous forces of White Christian America were closing in for the revolution....
