Eric Holder And Ahmed Abu Khattala. If you’ve seen one terrorist, you’ve seen them all!
Who is Ahmed Abu Khattala?
Ahmed Abu Khattala is an incarcerated Libyan, who commanded a small militia during the 2011 uprising against Muammar Gaddafi. He participated in the 2012 Benghazi attack on the American diplomatic mission at Benghazi, in which Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed.
In a December 2013 article about the attack, the New York Times described him as a central figure in the attack according to Libyan witnesses, although he had no known affiliations with terrorist groups.
Ahmed Abu Khattala denies killing the Americans or being part of the attack.
The Middle East that Obama inherited in 2009 was largely at peace, for the surge in Iraq had beaten down the al Qaeda-linked groups. U.S. relations with traditional allies in the Gulf, Jordan, Israel and Egypt were very good. Iran was contained, its Revolutionary Guard forces at home. Today, terrorism has metastasized in Syria and Iraq, Jordan is at risk, the humanitarian toll is staggering, terrorist groups are growing fast and relations with U.S. allies are strained.
How did it happen? Begin with hubris: The new president told the world, in his Cairo speech in June 2009, that he had special expertise in understanding the entire world of Islam—knowledge “rooted in my own experience” because “I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed.” But President Obama wasn’t speaking that day in an imaginary location called “the world of Islam;” he was in Cairo, in the Arab Middle East, in a place where nothing counted more than power. “As a boy,” Obama told his listeners, “I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk.” Nice touch, but Arab rulers were more interested in knowing whether as a man he heard the approaching sound of gunfire, saw the growing threat of al Qaeda from the Maghreb to the Arabian Peninsula, and understood the ambitions of the ayatollahs as Iran moved closer and closer to a bomb.
Obama began with the view that there was no issue in the Middle East more central than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Five years later he has lost the confidence of both Israeli and Palestinian leaders, and watched his second secretary of state squander endless efforts in a doomed quest for a comprehensive peace. Obama embittered relations with America’s closest ally in the region and achieved nothing whatsoever in the “peace process.” The end result in the summer of 2014 is to see the Palestinian Authority turn to a deal with Hamas for new elections that—if they are held, which admittedly is unlikely—would usher the terrorist group into a power-sharing deal. This is not progress.
The most populous Arab country is Egypt, where Obama stuck too long with Hosni Mubarak as the Arab Spring arrived, and then with the Army, and then the Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi, and now is embracing the Army again. Minor failings like the persecution of newspaper editors and leaders of American-backed NGOs, or the jailing of anyone critical of the powers-that-be at a given moment, were glossed over. When the Army removed an elected president, that was not really a “coup”—remember? And as the worm turned, we managed to offend every actor on Egypt’s political stage, from the military to the Islamists to the secular democratic activists. Who trusts us now on the Egyptian political scene? No one.

The images show how hundreds of people are transported on trucks to their execution. Then they are by armed masked to an obviously uninhabited area driven where they have to lie down side by side with his face to the ground. Then it is seen as a fighter of the ISIS goes along the row with a machine gun and shoots one after another. There are dozens of images, but the majority is too brutal to publish it.
Even before the days claimed ISIS to have captured when taking Mosul 4,500 Iraqi soldiers. The 3000 including Sunnis should be freed, according to ISIS Propaganda, 1700 Shiites, however, had been executed. With the images now published on an official ISIS-channel, the terror group apparently wants to provide the proof. The claims of the radical Islamic group can not be independently verified. Similarly, the place of execution, which is supposed to act according to jihadist propaganda to the province of Salah ad-Din.
