Evidence that Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood was directly involved in the
September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, where
Americans including U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens were killed,
continues to mount.
First, on June 26, 2013, I produced and partially translated what purported
to be an internal Libyan governmental memo which was leaked and picked up by
many Arabic websites. According to this document, the Muslim Brotherhood,
including now ousted President Morsi, played a direct role in the Benghazi
consulate attack. “Based on confessions derived from some of those arrested at
the scene,” asserted the report, six people, “all of them Egyptians” from the
jihad group Ansar al-Sharia (Supporters of Islamic Law), were arrested. During
interrogations, these Egyptian jihadi cell members:
confessed to very serious and important information concerning the
financial sources of the group and the planners of the event and the storming
and burning of the U.S. consulate in Benghazi…. And among the more prominent
figures whose names were mentioned by cell members during confessions were:
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi; preacher Safwat Hegazi; Saudi businessman
Mansour Kadasa, owner of the satellite station, Al-Nas; Egyptian Sheikh Muhammad
Hassan; former presidential candidate, Hazim Salih Abu Isma’il…
Four days after this memo appeared, the military-backed June 30 Egyptian
revolution took place. Many of the Islamists in the Libyan document have either
been arrested—including Safwat Hegazi and Abu Isma’il—or have arrest warrants
under terrorism charges.
