(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama said at a White House press conference on Friday afternoon that the administration has a “sealed indictment” of unnamed and unnumbered terrorists involved in the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the U.S. facilities in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Amb. Chris Stevens, State Department Information Management Officer Sean Smith, and CIA security personnel Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
CNN had reported (http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/06/politics/benghazi-charges) on Tuesday that the administration had charged “several suspects” in the Benghazi attack and that one of them was Ahmed Abu Khattala, reportedly a leader of the Ansar al Sharia militia.
Ansar al-Sharia publicly took credit for the Benghazi while it was still unfolding.
The fact that the administration is indicting people it believes were involved in the terrorist attack in Benghazi suggests the administration is planning to try the terrorists responsible for the attack in U.S. civilian court as if they were domestic criminals—as opposed to treating them as unlawful enemy combatants who committed an act of war against the United States.
Obama said the administration was "intent on capturing" the perpetrators of the Benghazi terror attack.
At Friday’s press conference, Fox News’s Ed Henry asked Obama: “On Sept. 11, we’ll have the first anniversary of Benghazi, and you said on Sept. 12 ‘make no mistake we’ll bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.’ Eleven months later, where are they, sir?”
“Well,” Obama said, “I also said that we would get Bin Laden, and I didn’t get him in eleven months. So, we have informed, I think, the public that there is a sealed indictment. It’s sealed for a reason. But we are intent on capturing those who carried out this attack. And we are going to stay on it until we get them.”
“Are you close to having suspects in custody?” a reporter followed up.
“I will leave it at that,” said Obama. “But this remains a top priority for us. Anybody who attacks Americans, anybody who kills, tragically, four Americans who were serving us in a very dangerous place, we’re going to do everything we can to get those who carried out those attacks.”
At 6:07 p.m. Washington, D.C. time on Sept. 11, 2012, while the terrorist attack in Benghazi was still unfolding, the State Department sent out an email (http://cnsnews.com/news/article/state-dept-email-white-house-607-pm-91112-ansar-al-sharia-claims-responsibility) to officials in the White House and the Defense Department and elsewhere in the government stated that the Benghazi-based Libyan militia Ansar al-Sharia was already taking credit for the attack. The email was obtained and reported by CBS News.
The subject line on the email said: “Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack.”
The text said: “Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.”-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bama 's problem is he is not above the damn law! It is just that those able and charged to call his bluff refuse to do so. Likely for fear that they may be held responsible for causing Constitutional crisis but the reality is Obama by doing illegal acts repeatedly already has. Its just being ignored which will push him to keep doing more. He must be impeached ,for to not act greatly endangers the Republic and may lead to its downfall. -Tyr
