Benghazi’s Ringleader Ahmed Abu Khattala Will Not Get Death Penalty

Ahmed Abu Khattala has been indicted on 18-counts and is described as the ringleader of the attacks on the State Department diplomatic compound in Lybia.  He is said to be responsible for the murder of “an internationally protected person”, the “killing of a person during an armed attack on a federal building”, along with numerous other charges, that of “providing material support to terrorists, malicious destruction of property and attempted murder of an officer and employee of the U.S.”

All of this is certainly cause enough to seek the death penalty, but once again, the Obama Administration and their puppet Justice Department have decided to do what is best for Lybia and ignore the pain and suffering caused by Hillary Clinton and her failure as Secretary of State.

If Khattala can avoid the death penalty, then sadly Hillary will most likely avoid prosecution in her criminal role, as well.

Khattala, captured by U.S. special forces in Libya two years ago and brought to the U.S. aboard a Navy ship, has been awaiting trial in federal court in Washington in connection with the September 2012 violence at a diplomatic compound in Benghazi.

Prosecutors have described him as a ringleader of the attacks, which quickly emerged as a political flashpoint and became the topic of congressional hearings involving Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time of the rampage.

The 18-count indictment arises from a burst of violence that began the night of Sept. 11, 2012, at a State Department diplomatic compound, an attack prosecutors say was aimed at murdering American personnel and plundering maps, documents and other property from the post. U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed, along with Sean Patrick Smith, a State Department information management officer.

The victims families deserve justice.  They will forever mourn the loss of their loved ones, but certainly they should have their own country fighting on their behalf, to convict this terrorist and punish him for his crimes.
