Ahmed Abu Khattala captured, charged criminally, mirandized.

Good way to shut him up.....

Two questions, though....
Why would the FBI HRT be operating outside the US where Delta is available? I suspect the answer is in the fact he is charged as a criminal not terrorist.

Why would the raid be needed or even a big deal now when this guy was lounging poolside at luxury hotels a month after POTUS promised to hunt down all the perps? I suspect the tail is wagging the dog. "How does this affect the B-3 bomber?" "There is no B-3 bomber.").

“It’s important for us to send a message to the world that when Americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible, and we will bring them to justice,” Obama said.

Abu Khattala’s capture was a significant breakthrough for the administration in a case that has dragged on for nearly two years since Obama promised shortly after the attacks that the perpetrators would be brought to justice.

Witnesses and the authorities have called Ahmed Abu Khattala one of the ringleaders of the Sept. 11 attack on the American diplomatic mission here. But just days after President Obama reasserted his vow to bring those responsible to justice, Mr. Abu Khattala spent two leisurely hours on Thursday evening at a crowded luxury hotel, sipping a strawberry frappe on a patio and scoffing at the threats coming from the American and Libyan governments.
