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 Khattalawas 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.
Khattalas 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.
One jubilant official called Khattalas capture a reminder that when the United States says its going to hold someone accountable and he will face justice, this is what we mean.
