Botched kidnapping morph into Benghazi slaughter?

JERUSALEM – A key segment of a Benghazi whistleblower's account of the deadly Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. facility may warrant further review after an al-Qaida member's claim that Ambassador Christopher Stevens was killed in a botched kidnap attempt.

Abdallah Dhu-al-Bajadin, who was identified by U.S. officials speaking to the Washington Free Beacon as a known weapons experts for al-Qaida, wrote on a jihadi website that Stevens was killed by lethal injection after plans to kidnap him during the Benghazi assault went awry.

A detail provided in testimony by Gregory Hicks, former deputy chief of the U.S. mission in Libya, may require further investigation in light on the claim.

Hicks said the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, Libya, was told Stevens was taken to a hospital controlled by Ansar Al-Sharia, the group originally believed to have been behind the Benghazi attack.

Stated Hicks: "We began to hear also that the ambassador has been taken to a hospital. We don't know initially which hospital it is, but we – through David's reports we learned that it is in a hospital which is controlled by Ansar Sharia, the group that Twitter feeds had identified as leading the attack on the consulate."
