Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Friday that the FBI has arrested a “key participant” behind the 2012 Benghazi terror attack in Benghazi, Libya.
US Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in the September 11, 2012 attack along with State Department employee Sean Smith and Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods are killed in the attack.
“We have never forgotten those heroes, and we have never stopped seeking justice for that crime against our nation,” Bondi said.
The man accused landed in the United States early this morning, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday morning.
The man, Zubayar Al-Bakoush, will face charges related to murder, terrorism, and arson, Bondi said.
Bakoush was charged eleven years ago, but the case remained sealed until his arrest Friday, US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said. Her office will be leading the prosecution.

Love the way Trump deports the illegal immigrants to make some room for the imported ones!
Patel is high on something here
Then-U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice was the primary official to publicly articulate the narrative that the September 11, 2012, Benghazi attack was a spontaneous reaction to a video rather than a planned terror attack, stating on September 16, 2012, that it was not likely premeditated.
Susan Rice’s Statements: In interviews on Sunday talk shows on September 16, 2012, she said, “We do not have information at present that leads us to conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned”.
Source of Information: She stated that information suggested the attack began as a spontaneous protest that extremist elements then exploited.
Context: This explanation was quickly contested, with officials like Gregory Hicks, the deputy chief of mission in Libya, expressing confusion at the, “spontaneous” description, noting they knew it was an attack early on.
Initial Official Line: The administration initially pointed to an anti-Muslim video as the cause.
Let’s waterboard Hillary over her 33,000 bleached emails, & let her explain if that still makes a difference all these years later?
Thank you President Donald Trump for beating Hillary in 2016.
benghazi was about the 300(?) stinger missiles that hillary wanted to transfer to isis in syria. the phony cover story about some obscure youtube video sparking islamist outrage was to hide the fact that her decision plus the understaffing of embassy security, had led to the attack and the murder of ambassador stevens. even worse, al-bakoush and his group were familiar with the embassy’s security protocols, as they had been hired as local muscle. frying this terrorist won’t undo what happened, but it may shine a light on some of the highly questionable decisions of the obama administration.
