Benghazi indictment confirms 2012 attack was terrorist plot - Washington Times: Federal prosecutors won an 18-count indictment against accused Benghazi attacker Ahmed Abu Khatalla on Tuesday, which charges him with leading the assault that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and makes him eligible for the death penalty.

The indictment, handed up in federal district court in Washington, also puts the final nail in the administration’s initial claim that the 2012 attack was a reaction to a video that mocked Islam. Instead, the indictment details Mr. Khatalla’s orchestrated plans to attack the diplomatic compound, believing it to be a CIA outpost.
