A lesser-known member of Ansar al Sharia, the Islamic group who conducted the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi Libya, Zubayar Al-Bakoush, was captured and indicted by federal law enforcement. Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement earlier today.
Bakoush is labeled as a leading ‘facilitator’, essentially a ground planner of Ansar al Sharia during the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty. He was charged in an eight-count indictment unsealed today in U.S. District Court on multiple terrorism and murder counts. AG Pam Bondi made the announcement.
CTH followed the events closely, conducted a two-year research effort and then subsequently published the full story Benghazi Brief [SEE HERE]. Domestically, Barack Obama, Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Mike Morrell and James Comey participated in the coverup.
DOJ PRESS RELEASE – The indictment charges Zubayar Al-Bakoush with:
•Conspiracy to Provide Material Support and Resources to Terrorists Resulting in Death
•Providing Material Support and Resources to Terrorists Resulting in Death
•Murder of an Internationally Protected Person
•Murder of a United States National Outside of the United States (Two Counts)
•Attempted Murder of a United States National Outside of the United States
•Arson and Placing Lives in Jeopardy Within the Special Maritime and Territorial Jurisdiction of the United States and Attempting to Do the Same
•Maliciously Destroying and Injuring Property and Placing Lives in Jeopardy within the Special Maritime and Territorial Jurisdiction of the United States and Attempting to Do the Same
The charges stem from the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission and nearby CIA Annex that killed Ambassador Stevens and U.S. government personnel Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods, and Glen Doherty.
According to the indictment, Bakoush was a member of Ansar Al Sharia (AAS), an Islamist extremist militia in Benghazi, which had the goal of establishing Sharia law in Libya.
On the evening of Sept. 11, 2012, a group of more than 20 heavily armed men – including Bakoush assembled outside the main gate of the U.S Special Mission in Benghazi. They were armed with assault rifles, other firearms, and explosive devices. At about 9:45 p.m., the group of armed men violently breached the main gate of the Mission. Upon entry, the men fanned out across the Mission complex, setting fires to building within the Mission compound.
When the attackers could not gain entry to the secure area of Villa C, the Ambassador’s residence, they set fire to it. Ambassador Stevens and Mr. Smith suffocated from the thick, black smoke that enveloped the residence. Diplomatic Security Services (DSS) Special Agent Scott Wickland, who had tried to guide Ambassador Stevens and Mr. Smith to safety, was injured and repeatedly took small arms fire while trying to rescue the two Americans.
The extremist group also attacked the Quick Reaction Force building, which was occupied by local Libyans serving as guards for the Mission.
About 10 p.m., Bakoush entered the Mission compound with other conspirators, and conducted surveillance of the Tactical Operation Center and the Villa. After Bakoush attempted to gain entry to vehicles belonging to Mission staff, he and his co-conspirators temporarily retreated to an area just outside the Mission.
About 11:15 p.m., conspirators assembled outside the southern gate and launched a second violent attack on the Mission using AK-type assault rifles, grenades, and rocket-propelled grenades. After 30 minutes, the group entered the compound and plundered the Mission’s office of documents, maps, and computers containing sensitive information about the location of the CIA Annex.
At 12:30 a.m., conspirators attacked the Annex with small arms, assault rifles, and rocket-propelled grenades.
Following the attack at the Mission, in the early hours of September 12, 2012, the violence continued at the CIA Annex, first with gunfire and then with a precision mortar attack. While defending the Annex, Mr. Woods, Mr. Doherty, DSS Special Agent David Ubben, and CIA security specialist Mark Tiegen were hit by a precision mortar attack, leading to the deaths of Mr. Woods and Mr. Doherty. Special Agent Ubben and Mr. Tiegen were seriously wounded but survived.
The Department of Justice previously charged and convicted two leaders in the Benghazi attack on federal terrorism charges and other offenses. Ahmed Abu Khatallah, aka Ahmed Mukatallah was sentenced in June 2018 to 22 years in prison and resentenced in September 2024 to 28 years in prison. Mustafa al-Imam was sentenced in January 2020 to nearly 20 years. (SOURCE)
[The Benghazi Brief]
After I published the Benghazi Brief, our CTH website was blocked in Qatar.




When are we going to arrest the real American villains in the Benghazi mess?
are you referring to hildabeast clinton?
Actually I am interested in who cancelled any sort rescue of US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and the other Americans in Benghazi to support him.
The kenyan was ultimately behind both leaving our people to be killed and putting US arms in the hands of America’s enemies, which killed even more Americans.
Its likely there’s still MANPADS around which pose a risk to PDT and others due to the incompetence of both the Kenyan and his Demented Fraud puppet Biden
Serial numbers will tell the tale
Don’t forget that pallet of cash!!!! Obama was just the usable part! Who controlled him is where to start prosecutions!
Those In the Situation Room watching it unfold denied help
SPIT!!
Also who gave info so that our Seal teams were killed while traveling in a helicopter after Bin Laden was killed and buried at sea? I think. 32 seals died!
The Africom chief said they could respond immediately and it was denied. I remember seeing the frustration on his face and thinking that the people who denied it were getting exactly what they intended.
Will Comer ask her any questions about it when they deign to appear?
No, he will not. Comer is a player – his “hearings” don’t amount to a popcorn fart. No real threat to the DC uniparty system from him.
Comer is all talk! He for sure has known about all the fraud going on in his state Minnesota! Never a peep from him. Inquiring minds would like to know how much he has benefited $$$$$?
“Domestically, Barack Obama, Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Mike Morrell and James Comey participated in the coverup.”Presuming that anyone even has the stones to arrest them, the issue then becomes is there even a shred of judicial ethical standard left to convict them? All the evidence currently points to an answer of “no”.
FBI and feds drug their feet for 14 years.
Why?
Arms to Syria and a complicit State Dept & Sec of State to “protect” that’s why.
You’re so right. But it’s dragged. Can’t you hear how terrible drug sounds. Sorry if this seems petty but it really is horrible.
That’s when I discovered treehouse thank you, Sundance .
God bless

“At this point in time what difference does it make blah blah blah lies lies lies…”
Who said that?
Oh! It was Shrillary, the dreadful wife of the even more dreadful Billy Jeff Clinton!
When, O when, will Justice be visited upon the heads and souls of the demons among us, especially Beelzebub and Beelzeboob?
she thinks she is going to pull that again. ain’t going to happen.
Comer will trey gowdy us.
Is Comer a Trey Gowdy?
I HOPE NOT. I DON’T THINK SO. AS SOON AS I START TO THINK SOMEBODY IN DC IS OKAY I GET SCREWED.
Past performance being the best predictor of future performance, I say, yes, he is.
I believe I’d take Bill’s lying and infidelity over Hillary’s awfulness any day.
Re “I believe I’d take Bill’s lying and infidelity over Hillary’s awfulness any day.”
Those two demon possessed children of Satan, along with Obama, have done near irreparable damage to America. All three are equally unredeemable.
They were mentoured by George Sr. He helped Billy boy become president giving him the spot.

Hillary said at the airport as they were bringing out the dead soldiers that “we’re going to get them guys who made the video” then chimp obama went on to get reelected
I remember the media blackout of the story because Pierre delecto called it a terrorist attack before the government did.
You mean it wasn’t a spontaneous eruption of violence over an obscure video?
That’s what we were told happened there. 🙄
A movie producer went to prison.
Too bad the ring leader is still on the loose….
I hear she’s supposed to show up in DC…..
Hopefully one day in chains….
22 and 28 years??? That’s it, for terrorism, murder, destruction.
What happened to the death penalty for terrorism?
So tragic.
Wouldn’t it be easier to just eliminate this sob overseas than to go through all the trouble of capturing and bringing him to the U.S. for a trial and then being sent to prison where he can infect other inmates with his radical Islamism?
Not if they get regular forced rectal exams by the rest of the genpop.
These guys are being used to get to the real reason they attacked those in the top photo above are the prize.
I guess I’m sort of happy that these terrorists are being rounded up. They deserve public execution.
I would be ecstatic if Barack Obama, Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Mike Morrell, James Comey, and all of the other Deep State monsters who facilitated and covered up this atrocity would be prosecuted, convicted, and lined up and shot at Gitmo live on TV.
Hung by their necks until their sorry carcasses equilibrate to ambient air temp.
This might suggest a location in the middle of the State of Greenland.
So if I’m understanding correctly, Qatar plays both sides of the fence, to whoever is in power. They shield the leaders of the Muslim brotherhood from capture, as they lie in wait to create another coup?
Based on other articles, I think SD may be saying Qatar and Israel are now two sides of the same coin, like Uniparty.
Can someone please clarify for me. There have been too many cryptic posts without conclusions, which I don’t understand.
There’s nothing cryptic about it. Read the brief. Qatar didn’t like it, because it outlines the CIA use of Qatar as a cut out.
Thanks
Qatar exists under the protection of the CIA. In return they work the middle. Suppling weapons to both sides, The sandbox operational theory is stability is bad because then power centralizes. Destabilization and regional wars guarantees an outsize influence for weapons and intel providers.
Once you see it you wont sleep better at night, but a whole lot of evil starts to make sense
So what about Israel?
The terrorist were following instructions from those running arms thru Benghazi to Syria and the thieves robbing the banks in Libya of all its gold.
There was so much more then a terrorist job and those in the military chain as well as the state department and Osama among many others that did not send help that was 10 minutes away should serve life in Leavenworth.
Extortion 17 seal team sacrifice is all tied in.
Exactly. And Extortion 17 is so rarely ever mentioned.
The handheld surface to air missiles ment to overthrow khadaffi ended up shooting down an American helicopter in Afghanistan.
That’s what prompted operation zero footprint.
Obama CIA-backed militias—often Islamist factions—did clash with Pentagon-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which were dominated by Kurdish YPG units. These confrontations intensified around 2016, particularly near Aleppo, when Pentagon-supported forces moved into areas held by CIA-backed rebels, resulting in direct fighting between U.S.-armed groups.
This highlighted a lack of coordination between U.S. agencies and growing strategic divergence: the CIA aimed to pressure Assad, while the Pentagon prioritized ISIS containment. By 2017, the Trump administration ended the CIA program

Why is this only available in the X app, which I do not have ?
Scape goats.
The real criminals were in the White House and CIA.
talked to my kid in afghanistan on the 20th of sept. after the attack.. we were just talking normal family stuff. i asked if they saw the attack. silence for a bit. response was they cried for three days because nobody came to help those people. it went through the people in intel there like a knife.
It got to all of us here too.
I had guys in my last unit who had been on shift during the attack (air operations stuff). The situation scarred them all badly.
And of course they weren’t allowed to talk about it cause they all got slapped with NDAs
Bondi, Patel are idiots, again drawing attention to the fact that they wont arrest Clinton and deep state for their part. This is a joke. We are being played for fools.
Sean Smith’s mom never let them forget.
two photographs that are very hard to look at, the first, the murder of Ambassador Stevens, knowing our military was basically told to stand down, don’t go in and help, causing the death and damage to those who were there to protect him, real American heroes; the other, the ending of Ghadaffy – both with the hands of Mrs. Clinton written all over them.
The timing of this arrest, preceding the upcoming testimony before Congress by both Clintons, even though on a topic other than Libya, is perfect. It brings this much needed attention on to what Mrs. Clinton, and because of her decisions the Obama administration, back to the spotlight over the cruelty that was Benghazi.
She brought great shame upon the United States in the way she manipulated the publicized animal brutality over the death of the, by the time of his end, a boxed-in and submissive toward the USA, leader of Libya. We are fortunate as a nation that the witch never made it into the White House as President.
just my opinion, and prayer, that she is soon to find, at this time, exactly what difference this arrest will make.
If you can capture them, you can just shoot them.
Why expend the extra effort?
This effort is to keep him alive see the video of him being handled like a child as not to harm him. He has all they need to put the bunch in the Whitehouse when this happened in prison for life.
Like a cat playing with a mouse before he eats it.
I want to see him/them sing like a canary. I want to know every stinking detail about these rotten traitors.
“The 2012 Benghazi attack occurred during the night after protesters penetrated the grounds of the U.S. embassy in Cairo. For days after the attack, CIA analysts believed the Benghazi incident had been “spontaneously inspired”.
This is copied right out of Wikipedia. Those scum-eating progs are still pimping that “blasphemous YouTube video” lie.
By the book.
… group entered the compound and plundered the Mission’s office of documents, maps, and computers containing sensitive information about the location of the CIA Annex.
Wonder how many domestic enemies could be exposed by the interrogation of Zubayar Al-Bakoush?
Be sure to trie them in NYC so they can be let free!…..Not
i DO NOT CARE About these ” FEEDER FISH ” UNLESS He Turns PUBLIC TESTIMONY on –
1) HOW ” HIS PLAN ” Circumvented the PROTECTION That was SUPPOSEDLY PROVIDED by Aegis Defense Services LLC
( look that company UP and see WHO the PRESIDENT and CEO was in 2012 w/ ties to Intel )
2) He PROVIDES The INFORMATION on WHO PAID His HIRED GUNS
3) WHO HAS BEEN Paying for HIS and HIS FAMILY’s LIFE STYLE
and
4) HOW Was HE PAID – GOLD / US Dollars / Crypto ?
He IS DEAD ANYWAY…
… btw – WHERE DID THE GOLD Of LIBYA End UP ? we KNOW WHERE the Small Arms Went ( but NOT the Stingers ? ) …
Where is the Bondi DOJ on Obama, Clinton, et al? This is a joke. Feed the masses the bones of an expendable jihadi and they will be satisfied. This is not working MAGA.
This man is arrested just before the Clintons come in testify in Congress.
Interesting.
More importantly, when do they arrest Hillary and Obama who caused the deaths. They refused to allow military help for these poor souls.
How do people become so cold, calculating and manipulating where human life has no meaning.
To answer your question, power and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
This arrest brings back dark times when Hillard Clinton was in office. It was horrible then and horrible now. Clinton still walks like a duck out of water.
Is this a stepping stone to HRC?
Grateful to Sundance for his clear, strong voice. Blessings to Sundance 😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻
As long as they don’t claim it was an obscure You Tube video that set them off.
At this rate, HILLARY RODENT CLINTON will be 115 years old before she is arrested for this Crime.
She will eventually pay for her crimes, either in this life or the next.
How about Samantha Powers being areested along with Obama and Hillary. All part of running munitions thru Lydia to Syria. Samantha Powers heavily involved in all the color revolutions in many countries. Arrest the ones coordinating the crimes before the low level criminals! Perhaps this guy will spill his guts to get a reduced sentence. With this DOJ we may never really know!
Get Hillary!!!
My first thoughts upon seeing this headline were that Barack, or Hillary, or Susan will finally be paying the piper for that fiasco that they birthed in Benghazi.
Gee……you mean the same people we knew are traitors….have been traitors……perpetrated the coup……are traitors?
Funny how those conspiracy theories keep proving to be true!
I guess we’re gonna have to come up with some new conspiracy theories now! 🤩
There is no such thing as an Islamist. Those who practiced Islam are Muslims. Therefore, Ansar Al Sharia (AAS), was a Muslim extremist!
Rebranding them as Islamists simply covers for the heinous acts of Muslims.
And another thing, Islam is not a religion; it is a radical, barbaric, heathen ideology practiced by a heathen race of people.
Gee, another Benghazi criminal not named Hillary arrested. Imagine that…🤷♂️
Almost threw something at the tv while watching this miscarriage play out. Always figured that the witch and the foreigner would go down for their inaction. Enter mike rogers and his cohorts.
I guess you go after the smaller fish to push them to reveal the names of the master minds….how about bringing in Samantha Powers (totally involved with the munitions run thru Lydia to Syria and also all the color revolutions from Egypt to the Eastern European countries election interference). Next up the under Obama, Hillary, Susan Rice and oh so many more who are rotten to the core and HATE AMERICA, THE CONSTITUTION AND THE MAGA PEOPLE! ,
The fact that these convicted terrorists weren’t taken to Club Gitmo for some waterboarding therapy, military tribunals, and swift executions disgusts me.
We are not a serious nation …
Sick, no justice here. Arrest, jail the true criminals.
The CIA annex was full of arms. These were taken and loaded on the ” Al Antisar ” which I watched live on ships traffic.
It proceeded off toward Turkey
The plot was later scrubbed off of ships traffic.
