NYTimes: Captured Suspect Said Benghazi Attack Revenge For Anti-Islam Video

by AlyoshaKaramazovFollow


Ahmed Abu Khatallah, the suspect captured by U.S. special forces on Tuesday for his role in the 2012 Benghazi attack, reportedly said he was motivated in part by the anti-Islam online video made in America, according to the New York Times.

"What he did in the period just before the attack has remained unclear. But Mr. Abu Khattala told other Libyans in private conversations during the night of the attack that he was moved to attack the diplomatic mission to take revenge for an insult to Islam in an American-made online video," Times reporter David Kirkpatrick wrote in a story on Khattala on Tuesday.

ever be caught alive, and I never thought he actually say, "it WAS the movie." Fox and the Teapublicans are really going to have to spin this.

Its not about left or right, its all about grabbing the reins, winning the game. Itsnot even politics. The barbarians are not at the gates. They are among us.
