Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against an alleged militia leader in connection with the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attacks on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, CBS News has confirmed.

Ahmed Khattalah becomes the first person charged in connection with the attack that killed four Americans.

Khattalah is a Libyan militia leader who admitted to being in Benghazi last Sept. 11, Global Post reported. Reuters reported last year that officials considered Khattala a suspect in the attacks but U.S. investigators were not sure about the scope of his role.

The charges against him are under seal.

1. That can't be. I thought Hillary and Obama were the ones behind it?

You know, they flew down to Libya and blew the whole embassy up themselves!

2. I thought it was a movie. Did that guy want a refund or something? nt

4. Not true!!!!

... they're behind the coverup, since Sasha and Malia were the actual attackers. Now they're going after this innocent patsy to protect their children from celebrating Kill A Haole Day, whilst vacationing in Benghazi.

And thus, that's the greatest threat to national security, which Birthers overlook. They were born in Hawai'i, the true terrorist training ground!!!

3. That is a small

step forward. Now see if the new government of Libya will cooperate. How was he able to pull it off?

6. The "government" in Libya supports the US,

the problem is that they have very little control of their territory and the militias.

5. "The charges against him are under seal." - send the seal home and open this up.

7. This guy recently gave CNN an interview

See my previous thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014553910

8. Republicans need to be charged for slashing the embassy security budget

The Repubbies are responsible for Benghazi.

9. is the Video still being blamed?...

reason for the change.

10. Anyone remember the Egyptian killed his own backyard?

He was supposedly the organizer of the Benghazi attack. There was an unspoken conspiracy theory that US right wingers set up Benghazi and then killed the main witness. And that they had also set up the incendiary movie that was then said to have precipitated attacks. The funding for the movie having come from somewhere.

11. Not sure how serious you are...

But I have thought long & hard about why CHINA might be funding many of these Right Wingerz thanks to the "Citizens United" ruling...CHINA knows as long as the Republicans control the House America will stagnate...Meanwhile China will continue working to dominate the future world energy market!

Republicans SUCK!!

[Festivito]

12. You have a good point...

The Chinese will buy almost anything, and Republicans will sell us out anytime.

ADD: Yes I was being serious.
