Horror!… Intelligence Officials: Libya Attack Led By Ex-Gitmo Detainee
Posted by Andrea Ryan on Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 7:52 PM
Intelligence officials now think responsibility for the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was at the hands of one man, Sufyan Ben Qumu. He is a member of Al-Qaeda and was a Gitmo detainee, released with the understanding that the Libyan government would continue his imprisonment.
Via Drudge, Fox News reported,
Intelligence sources tell Fox News they are convinced the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was directly tied to Al Qaeda — with a former Guantanamo detainee involved.
That revelation comes on the same day a top Obama administration official called last week’s deadly assault a “terrorist attack” — the first time the attack has been described that way by the administration after claims it had been a “spontaneous” act.
“Yes, they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy,” Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said during a Senate hearing Wednesday.
Olsen echoed administration colleagues in saying U.S. officials have no specific intelligence about “significant advanced planning or coordination” for the attack.
However, his statement goes beyond White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, saying the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate was spontaneous. He is the first top administration official to call the strike an act of terrorism.
Sufyan Ben Qumu is thought to have been involved and even may have led the attack, Fox News’ intelligence sources said. Qumu, a Libyan, was released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2007 and transferred into Libyan custody on the condition he be kept in jail. His Guantanamo files also show he has ties to the financiers behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Olson, repeating Wednesday that the FBI is handling the Benghazi investigation, also acknowledged the attack could lead back to Al Qaeda and its affiliates.
“We are looking at indications that individuals involved in the attack may have had connections to Al Qaeda or Al Qaeda’s affiliates, in particular Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb,” he said at the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.
Leader: Sufyan Ben Qumu, who has known extremist ties, became one of the top commanders of rebel forces in Benghazi. Sufyan Ben Qumu, who was reportedly once Osama bin Laden’s driver, was let out of the US military detention center in Cuba in 2007 and turned over to the government of Muammar Gaddafi on the condition he be kept behind bars.

I think we are watching a slow mothion terrorist attack of massive proportions headed our way….All directed by the grinning Imam Obama…The sacking of our embassy looks staged like an inside job …Jihadists may now have Khadaffi’s hidden stash of WMD…They got the Mohammed movie all in place as grounds for blame after the hit comes….The local mosque leaders in every Muslim capital organizing mobs to harass our embassies so our chatter surveillance intelligance operations break down and a small Mohammed Atta style team of terror agents slips into America unnoticed . Muslim Brotherhood handlers inside our own FBI shield them from view. ….Obama keeps up the drunk bash parties every night as a ruse …adding to the chaos and distraction….then KABOOM some big terror disaster designed to impact the election….. I worry about the date Sept 21 when the Scientology cult movie ” The Master ” comes out . The Doomsday death cult may have that day marked for some terror repeat of the Batman Dark Night movie release. There are AMERICAN satanic cults in underground alliance with these old Islamic death cults. They work together internationally. Somebody needs to be telling the American people to be on the look out for anything suspicious while the muslims are up in riot…… Obama isn’t going to do it.

Wow. It’s amazing all the interesting facts one can learn from intelligence briefings. There’s all sorts of stuff you don’t quite encounter when hanging out at Beyonce and Jay Z’s party drinking $100K of champagne from two story tall bottles, or joking around with David Letterman on his show.
No wonder the light worker (who hardly works at all) insists on interviews from E!, Readers Digest and Highlights for Children.

I had missed that link.
That is the smoking gun. Rice, Hillary, Obama all over with their goofy lie about the video.
They absolutely hope that no one ever sees that info. They will play it that Bush did it. True , but it was rather like the difference between Wide Receiver vs Fast & Furious. Not even close in handling. But look what Obama & Crew did with it.
Just lookie.

‘You see, if we blame the movie for the Middle East burning, we won’t blame the Islamists who are doing the burning and looting and raping and murdering.
Which means we won’t further connect the dots and blame Obama’s failed Middle East policy; the Obama Doctrine of backing away from the region and allowing events to unfold as America stands idly by — as the Islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood grab hold of power in Egypt, a country that was once our largest and closest ally.
Blame the filmmaker.
Hunt him.
Out him.
Demonize him.
Burn the straw man!
And all at the direction of a president of the United States who has sworn to uphold the Constitution, you know, the same Constitution that treasures the right of free expression and speech above all else.
But no one asks … What about Bill Maher?
Bill Maher?
Bill Maher made a comedy/documentary called “Religulous” that’s most famous for mercilessly mocking Christianity. But what people forget is that the last twenty-minutes or so of the film make a damning case against Islam.
Bill Maher made a film that mocked Islam.
Oh, yes, he did.
Bill Maher also contributed $1 million to a pro-Obama super PAC.
And I’m sure that upon being reminded of this, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will tremble with self-righteous indignation and demand Maher take his money back. ‘
