Khatallah ordered held until trial

Judgement0 Comments

During a brief detention hearing yesterday, a federal court magistrate rules that Abu Khatallah will remain in jail until his trial. Court documents released before the hearing allege he “conspired to participate and then participated” in the September 11, 2012, attack on the American outpost in eastern Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.  In the document, prosecutors allege:

The defendant’s participation in the attack was motivated by his extremist ideology.

They also allege that Khatallah “voiced concern and opposition to the presence of an American facility in Benghazi” days prior to the attack.
