Benghazi suspect says he was motivated by the YouTube video [View all]

Ahmed abu Khattalah, the suspected ringleader of the attack in Benghazi who was just captured by U.S. forces,said he was motivated by the anti-Islam online video made in America.

In private conversations, Khattala told other Libyans during the night of the attack that he was moved to attack the diplomatic mission to take revenge for an insult to Islam in an American-made online video.

Every right wing talking  point has been blown out of the water today. Watch how they spin this because it doesn’t fit their narrative. Darrell Issa is probably in a fetal position in the corner of his office, sucking his thumb right now.
