Maybe I’m just too old and get confused too easy; or maybe not.
Did not the esteemed New York Times declare and subsequently defend, several times now, that their exhaustive on the ground investigation proved that the event at the United States Consulate in Benghazi Libya in which four Americans were killed, including our Ambassador Chris Stevens, was the result of an obscure anti-Muslim video and it had no association with al-Qaeda or any other foreign terrorists? Did I not hear Susan Rice along with the Obama Administration immediately following that article back it up once again with the story of a protest resulting from the video and it had nothing to do with al-Qaeda or any other foreign terrorists?
Here’s my confusion; this morning we read a report that states the United States government is trying to apprehend an al-Qaeda terrorist wanted for his role in the September 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack?
The suspect, Muhammad Jamal, was imprisoned in Egypt last fall and in September was being held by the Egyptian government. His current whereabouts could not be confirmed, said U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. One official said Jamal remains in Egyptian custody, contrary to reports that he was in Yemen. Jamal was labeled a designated terrorist by the United Nations on October 18, identifying him and the group he formed, the Muhammad Jamal Network, as linked to the September 11, 2012 Benghazi attack.
Four Americans were killed during an assault on a diplomatic compound and a nearby CIA facility in the Libyan port city. The identification of Jamal as an al-Qaeda member linked to the Benghazi attack contradicts a recent New York Times investigative report that concluded there was no evidence al-Qaeda or foreign terrorists were behind the Benghazi attack that is currently the subject of several congressional inquiries.
A CIA spokesman declined to comment when asked if al-Qaeda is linked to the Benghazi attack.
