Libya uncovers ‘new elements’ in killing of US ambassador in Benghazi

Source: AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE

Libya’s internationally recognised parliament said Tuesday it has uncovered “new elements” behind the 2012 assassination of the US ambassador when the American consulate was stormed in eastern city Benghazi.

“I have been tasked today with leading a team of inquiry,” Tareq Saqar al-Jeruchi, deputy head of the parliament’s security and defence committee, told AFP.

He said the team had “new elements on the real perpetrators of the attack” and would work closely with the FBI and Congressional commissions of inquiry, although he did not elaborate on the identities of the assailants.

A Libyan parliamentary delegation is to travel to the United States for consultations with members of Congress, Jeruchi said.

This congress goes outside the country to get it's support. They can't get anymore lies from the US government may as well try foreign states.

Time to design a new dance called "Bengazi" with its own music that repukes can dance to.

somebody (who shall remain nameless)
hired the 'Feb.17 Martyrs Brigade'
as 'heavy security' for US interests
in Benghazi. Why was that?

Rumors were flying the CIA held in custody some prisoners the attackers wanted released. Could this have been the reason?

90% of the shit that goes on over there is covert, clandestine, probably extra-legal. You will never know the whole story and probably don't need to, but keep looking for that pony.

jumped the gun on their accusations and that made me think the fix was in. I have no doubt that the intention was to kidnap the ambassador and maybe a couple others, then compare Obama to Carter and the Iran hostage situation. Unfortunately for the ambassador he died from smoke inhalation while seeking cover.

This was a well financed black op perpetrated by wealthy, well connected fucking dickheads who were trying to steal the election for that fucking Wall Street pirate Romney.

I hope the truth comes out.
