The real story of Anes alibi

The Qaeda leader, Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai, was captured by American commandos in Tripoli on Saturday in a raid that the United States had hoped to keep secret, but that leaked out to the news media. The operation has been widely denounced by Libyan officials, who have called it a kidnapping and said they had played no role in it.
While American officials expected that the Libyan government would claim that it had known nothing about the operation, news of the raid has raised concerns that the suspect in the Benghazi attacks, Ahmed Abu Khattala, has now been tipped off that the United States has the ability to conduct an operation in Libya.
It is not clear why American military commanders did not conduct both operations simultaneously to avoid this problem. Some military commanders said conditions in Libya on Saturday may not have been opportune. But the backlash against a second raid could bring down the government of Prime Minister Ali Zeidan, which has teetered on the brink of collapse and has little control over vast parts of the country, particularly in the eastern part near Benghazi.
George Little, the Defense Department spokesman, declined to comment on Tuesday. American officials said that although the Libyans had tacitly approved the Saturday raid, they had not played a role in the actual operation and had not been told in advance when it would happen.
Combined with the Navy SEAL mission in Somalia that also took place on Saturday, and that failed to capture a top leader of the Shabab militant group, the operation in Tripoli signals that the Obama administration is willing to take risky missions to confront a spreading terrorist threat in Africa.
“Africa is one of the places,” Mr. Obama said at a news conference on Tuesday, “that you’re seeing some of these groups gather. And we’re going to have to continue to go after them.”
Mr. Obama’s promise the day after the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks to bring to justice those responsible for the attacks in Benghazi, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, and the lack of success so far, has led the Republicans to renew their criticism of the administration for its handling of the episode, as officials have made the case that Congress should authorize a military strike against Syria.
Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican and one of the fiercest critics of the administration’s handling of Benghazi, praised the capture of Mr. Ruqai, also known as, Abu Anas al-Libi. But he declined to speculate on future operations in Libya. “Under certain circumstances, they will go in,” Mr. McCain said in an interview. “The Benghazi thing was such a significant issue with the American people.”
More than half a dozen American diplomatic, military, law enforcement, intelligence and other administration officials were contacted for this article. All spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the diplomatic delicacy of the matter and the prospect of future military operations.
The Libyans’ tacit approval is far more limited than the secret agreements the United States has had in recent years with the governments in Pakistan and Yemen. Under those arrangements, the United States has been given broader authority to carry out secret operations to kill militants, although Mr. Obama has since ordered those missions reined in.
The American drone campaign in Pakistan has long been denounced publicly by Pakistani civilian government officials, although American officials claim that Pakistani military and intelligence services allowed it.
At a news conference in Bali on Monday, Secretary of State John Kerry said that the United States regularly consults with the Libyan government “on a range of security and counterterrorism issues,” but that he would not “get into the specifics of our communications with a foreign government or in any kind of operation of this kind.”
