The alleged organizer attacks an American crew in Libya in Benghazi, despises America, and when his hate "cooked", he organized a strike that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, the jury announced on Monday. The opening of the report began in the case against Ahmed Abu Khattala, whom the prosecutors describe as the leader of a diplomatic attack - an attack that has become a political standpoint with regard to a few weeks before President Barack Obama's re-election. This is one of the most significant terrorist lawsuits in recent years at the US civilian tribunal at a time when Trump's administration said terror suspects were better instructed in a military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. An indictment against Abu Khattale against 18 people in Abu Khattale's indictment stems from a crackdown on violence that began on September 11, 2012 in the State Department and prosecutors say they were targeting US personnel killing and plundering maps, documents, and other property from Fast. Abu Khattala pleaded not guilty to his charges, including the assassination of internationally protected persons, providing material support to terrorists and destroying US property while causing death. Stevens was killed in the first assault on the US mission, along with Sean Patrick Smith, State Department's information officer. Nearly eight hours later in the nearby CIA complex, two more Americans, contractor security guards Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty died in the dead. Stevens and Smith "smoked death with a thick black smoke," said John Crabb, US Attorney Assistant. Woods and Doherty were "scattered over the sea," he said. Crabb said that Abu Khattala "hates America with vengeance" and that his "hatred has tarnished until he boiled".
Khattala, who has a long, gray beard, entered the courtroom and shook hands with members of his legal team. The defendant, who wore a white shirt, monitored his trial through an interpreter. At times, he swiveled in his chair at the defense table.
Before the opening statements, US District Judge Christopher Cooper gave the jury 30 minutes of instructions.
“I am here to run a fair and efficient trial and to make sure the trains run on time,” Cooper told them.
“You and only you are the ultimate deciders of fact in this case.”
The trial began in a federal courtroom in Washington, three years after he was captured by US special forces in Libya and brought to the US on a 13-day trip aboard a Navy ship.
The case became instant political fodder, with Republicans accusing the Obama administration of intentionally misleading the public and stonewalling congressional investigators, though officials denied any wrongdoing. Some in Congress were particularly critical of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s handling of the matter.
And the trial itself could have political ramifications, as it is likely to be held up as an example of the effectiveness of trying terror suspects in federal court, at a time when the Trump administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have said they should be sent instead to Guantanamo.
It could also renew focus on US interrogation strategies that Abu Khattala’s lawyers have argued were illegal. During his trans-Atlantic trip, he faced days of questioning aboard the USS New York from separate teams of American interrogators, part of a two-step process designed to obtain both national security intelligence and evidence usable in a criminal prosecution.
He was questioned for days about national security matters before being advised of his rights. A new team of FBI investigators then pressed him some more, this time to produce evidence prosecutors could present at trial. Abu Khattala waived his rights, but his attorneys argued that the trip was so coercive, the waiver shouldn’t count.
The judge rejected that, and is allowing the statements to be used as evidence.
