It happened exactly 11 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

Chris Stevens, the U.S. ambassador to Libya, was visiting the State Department’s mission in the Libyan city of Benghazi, where the CIA also maintained a nearby Annex.

On Jan. 15, 2014, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence published a detailed report on the terrorist attack made against these U.S. facilities on the night of Sept. 11, 2012.

At 9:42 p.m.–as recorded by a surveillance camera–“armed attackers advanced toward the U.S. compound,” and “a local police vehicle” that had been stationed outside the compound pulled away. Some of these attackers climbed over the mission’s gate and then opened it.

“Over the course of the entire attack on the Mission facility,” said the committee’s report, “at least 60 different attackers entered the U.S. compound and can be seen on the surveillance video recovered from the Mission facility.”

What did they do there?

“Ambassador Chris Stevens was in the residence of the Main Building (‘Building C’), along with a Diplomatic Security agent, and Information Management Officer Sean Smith,” said the report. “The three of them proceeded to the ‘safe area’ in the building.”

Then, diplomatic security agents “contacted CIA personnel at the Annex to ask for assistance.”

But within three minutes of entering this State Department property, the terrorists had begun to destroy it.

“After entering the Mission facility, the attackers used diesel fuel to set fire to the barracks/guard house of the Libyan 17th February Brigade militia, which served as a security force provided by the host nation for the Mission compound, and then proceeded towards the main buildings of the compound.”

This is when they started killing Americans.

“The attackers used diesel fuel to set the Main Building ablaze where Ambassador Stevens was secured in the ‘safe area,'” said the Intelligence Committee’s report. “Thick smoke rapidly filled the entire structure. The attacks moved unimpeded throughout the compound, entering and exiting buildings at will.”

“A DS agent began leading the Ambassador and Sean Smith toward the emergency escape window to escape the smoke,” said the report. “Nearing unconsciousness himself, the agent opened the emergency escape window and crawled out. He then realized he had become separated from the Ambassador and Sean Smith in the smoke, so he reentered and searched the building multiple times.”

He eventually “climbed a ladder to the roof where he radioed other DS agents for assistance.”

Twenty-one minutes after this attack had started a “CIA security team” headed from the CIA Annex to the State Department’s mission. Seven minutes after that they “made their way onto the compound in the face of enemy fire.'”

At 10:30 p.m. that night, additional DS agents arrived at the building where Stevens and Smith had taken refuge. There they found Smith, who had already died.

The CIA security team, helped by the Libyan militia that worked at the compound, went looking for the missing ambassador.

“During this time, State and CIA personnel re-entered the burning compound numerous times in an attempt to locate Ambassador Stevens, but to no avail,” said the report.

They then drove in “armored vehicles” to the CIA Annex, taking Smith’s body with them. When they got there, they were again attacked by the terrorists with “sporadic small arms fire” and “rocket-propelled grenades.”

Meanwhile, some Libyans did discover Stevens at the State Department mission and brought him to a hospital. “Despite attempts to revive him,” said the committee report, “Ambassador Stevens had no heartbeat and had perished from smoke inhalation.”

And this terrorist attack was not yet over.

At 5:15 a.m., according to the report, the terrorists started firing at the Annex again. Security officers “Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty were killed when they took direct mortar fire as they engaged the enemy from the roof of the Annex,” it said.

More than 13 years have passed since this evil attack. But now justice may be served on one of its alleged perpetrators. On Feb. 6, Attorney General Pam Bondi held a press conference with FBI Director Kash Patel and Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia.

“We lost four American lives that day, Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, with the State Department, and two CIA contractors, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods,” Bondi said of the Sept. 11, 2012, terrorist attack in Benghazi. “We have never forgotten those heroes, and we have never stopped seeking justice for that crime against our nation.”

“Today, I’m proud to announce that the FBI has arrested one of the key participants behind the Benghazi attack,” said Bondi. “Zubayar Al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 3 a.m. this morning. He is in our custody. He was greeted by Director Patel and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.”

“Al-Bakoush will now face American justice on American soil,” said Bondi. “We will prosecute this alleged terrorist to the fullest extent of the law. He will face charges related to murder, terrorism, arson, among others. Let this case serve as a reminder. If you commit a crime against the American people anywhere in this world, President Trump’s Justice Department will find you. It might not happen overnight, but it will happen.

“You can run, but you cannot hide,” she said.

Two others have already been convicted for their involvement in the Benghazi attack. “The Department of Justice previously charged and convicted two leaders in the Benghazi attack on federal terrorism charges and other offenses,” said a Justice Department press release about the Al-Bakoush indictment. “Ahmed Abu Khatallah, aka Ahmed Mukatallah was sentenced in June 2018 to 22 years in prison and resentenced in September 2024 to 28 years in prison. Mustafa al-Imam was sentenced in January 2020 to nearly 20 years.”

Hopefully Al-Bakoush will not be the last alleged participant in the Benghazi terrorist attack to be brought to the United States to stand trial.

'Investigated, arrested, and hanged for sedition'

The El Paso airport was closed temporarily and reopened on Wednesday morning due to a drone incursion from Mexican cartels.

“Mexican cartel drones breached U.S. airspace,” a Trump administration official told The Daily Signal.

“The Department of War took action to disable the drones. The [Federal Aviation Administration] and [Department of War] have determined there is no threat to commercial travel.”

Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed in a post on X that the “threat has been neutralized, and there is no danger to commercial travel in the region.”

Early Wednesday morning, the El Paso International Airport in Texas announced that all flights would be grounded for 10 days due to an FAA flight restriction closing the airspace around the El Paso airport.

Hours later, the airport announced that the travel restrictions had been lifted.

“El Paso International Airport operations have reopened following the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision to lift the temporary closure of the airspace over El Paso,” the airport wrote on its Facebook page.

According to Reuters, the Pentagon and FAA were determining the risk of military counter measures to commercial aircraft, and that prompted the decision to shut down the airport.

Mexico’s cartels began using drones in recent years to monitor Border Patrol activity, according to Customs and Border Protection.

“We’re very concerned about, uh, the drone threat,” Interim Border Patrol Chief for the El Paso Sector Walter Slosar told The Daily Signal during an interview at the border in August.

The cartels have also reportedly used drones to smuggle drugs into the U.S.

Last week, officials from the border city of Chihuahua, Mexico, and the state of New Mexico met to discuss concerns over the cartels’ increased use of drones, according to Border Report.

The New Mexico state legislature is currently considering a bill to place restrictions on drones.

“We want people to be able to use drones,” New Mexico Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman says.

“However, the idea that drones can be used to circle law enforcement to do things that are known to be criminal activity, the idea that you are going to use a drone, fly it over the border from Mexico, drop a package or guide traffickers so they not be detected, that’s a real problem.”

The post Trump Was Right: Bombshell FBI Affidavit Released, Lists 5 Jarring Irregularities in 2020 Georgia Vote Counts - Some Already 'Substantiated' appeared first on The Western Journal.

Ahead of the FBI raid at the Fulton County election headquarters, an agent detailed the probe’s focus on “deficiencies or defects” from the Georgia count in the 2020 election. 

“Fulton County has admitted that it does not have scanned images of all the 528,777 ballots counted during the original count or the 527,925 ballots counted during the recount,” FBI special agent Hugh Raymond Evans said in a detailed affidavit in federal district court justifying the search warant. 

“Fulton County has confirmed that during the Recount of votes, some ballots were scanned multiple times,” the affidavit continues. 

“Ballot images made available in response to public record requests show ballots with unique markings duplicated within the ballot images.”

Evans further noted that auditors hand counting the ballots reported inconsistencies, while the Georgia Performance Review Board reported that Georgia Secretary of State investigators confirmed inaccurate batch tallies from the audit. 

“If these deficiencies were the result of intentional action, it would be a violation of federal law regardless of whether the failure to retain records or the deprivation of a fair tabulation of a vote was outcome determinative for any particular election or race,” the affidavit says. 

“Seizure of the election records would corroborate the analysis that evinces that election records were destroyed and or the tabulation of votes included materially false votes, either through duplicated scanning of specific ballots, interjection of pristine ballots, or other methods described above,” Evans says in asking the court to grant the search warrant. 

The FBI executed the warrant on Jan. 29. This came after a year-long clash between the State Election Board and Fulton County election officials regarding documents. 

The affidavit notes that the FBI interviewed two members of the State Election Board, a Fulton County commissioner, a staffer with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office, and a cyber security analyst among others. The names were redacted. 

The agent also noted the issues with 315,000 mail ballots that may not have been properly certified. 

“During a December 9, 2025, meeting before the State Election Board, Fulton County stated that tabulator tapes accounting for 315,000 ballots were not properly signed,” the affidavit says.

“The Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger stated in the media he considered the unsigned tabulator tapes an administrative oversight.” 

On Saturday, U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee ordered the court documents in the case to be unsealed by close of business Tuesday. 

Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. argued the unsealed documents show “recycled theories and politically motivated claims.”

“The unsealing of this affidavit confirms what many of us feared from the start: that this extraordinary FBI raid was rooted in recycled theories and politically motivated claims that have already been examined and rejected time and time again,” Arrington said in a statement.
