CNN Reporter: Benghazi Suspect 'Not a Man Who Was in Hiding'

CNN’s senior international correspondent Arwa Damon, who spoke last year with Ahmed Abu Khattal, the suspected mastermind in the 2012 Benghazi terror attack that killed four Americans, said not only was he not in hiding but he actually offered to speak with American officials about the attack.

Ahmed Abu Khattal did not deny he was at the consulate the night of September 12, 2012 but instead claims he was “directing traffic.” Damon said while his story does not line up with the events of that night, she empathized his confidence in making himself available to talk with U.S. authorities.
