Justice for Benghazi Attack

Jeanine Pirro, a U.S. attorney based in Washington, D.C., expressed a firm commitment to pursuing justice following the arrest of Zubair Albakush, one of the individuals implicated in the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. She emphasized that the U.S. will not relent in its efforts to hold those responsible for the deaths of American citizens accountable.

“It’s unfortunate that the U.S. Cavalry didn’t come in 2012,” Pirro remarked during her appearance on “Fox & Friends Weekend.” She highlighted the recent development, saying, “We’ve got him, and there’s more to come.”

Pirro took aim at former President Barack Obama, criticizing his administration for not taking stronger action against Albakush and others involved in the attack that led to the deaths of four Americans. “The president claimed they did everything possible, but that simply wasn’t true. Americans watched in horror—not as a peaceful protest went awry, but as four lives were lost,” she stated.

The Benghazi attack unfolded on September 11, 2012, when a group of armed assailants stormed the U.S. compound in Libya, using AK-47 rifles and grenades, resulting in chaos and destruction.

Pirro alleged that the Obama administration recognized the nature of the attack as planned and deliberate from the outset, contrary to the narrative that it was merely a volatile protest.

She expressed frustration at the perceived lack of sufficient measures to protect Americans in Benghazi, including the absence of military support like F-16s or emergency response teams that could have intervened swiftly. “Benghazi became incredibly dangerous for Americans, and yet they sent people there without proper protection,” she argued, conveying her disbelief at the misleading information shared by officials during that time.

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that Albakush faces multiple charges, including murder, terrorism, and arson, all in connection with the 2012 incident.
