this breaking news coming from libya. i want to welcome our viewers from the united states and around the world. the big news, that the americans have announced an arrest in the attack on the outpost in libya, benghazi. the arrest, a highly sought after suspect, aed me abu khattalah. likely en route to the united states for prosecution. i want to bring in our justice correspondent evan perez who's standing by. this has always been a contentious notion. how to deal with those who are apprehended not on united states soil but need to be prosecuted in the eyes of the americans on the united states soil. >> you're right, this is always a contentious issue. in the case of abu khattalah, we know there are sealed charges against him. carrying out an attack against u.s. citizens. this is going to be a fairly simple thing once he is brought to the united states. i'm sure in congress in the next couple of days, we're going to hear some com plants, that he should be brought before a military trial perhaps and given more type to get

he was captured two weeks ago in libya. until now, he's been under interrogation aboard the "uss new york." owe 0 officials say now he's being held under tight security at a federal courthouse 0 in d. where he will answer to charges for his role in the september 11, 2012, attack in libya that killed four americans, including u.s. ambassador chris stevens. our national security correspondent jennifer griffin is live outside the direct courthouse in d.c. right now. how, jennifer, was khattala brought to the courthouse today? >> reporter: well, kelly, u.s. officials tell us that he -- the "uss new york" came into the chesapeake bay and a u.s. helicopter brought him from the ship to a base, a national park service helipad over in an acos acosta. he was brought by vehicle by land to the courthouse behind

not too far from libya. it has been there for several weeks in case the embassy had to be evacuated there due to unrest. there are warships nearby. we don't know if he's on one of them. the u.s. not saying what kind of forces captured other than military and law enforcement, but we do know that u.s. special operations forces, we are talking delta force, s.e.a.l. team 6, these are the guys who have operated in and out of libya in very dicey security circumstances for the last several years. they have captured other people there. so i think it's pretty safe to assume realistically it was one of these tier 1 types of special operations groups, tilting 6, delta that went in and got him out. of course, unless he was going to be driven across a border, they most lukely took him out by airplane or helicopter. this time we believe the libyan government had much more awareness of it. knew perhaps the basic parameters of what the u.s. had planned. in the past, the libyan government has been pretty upset when they beli

but out of favor with libya. he was under pressure from both sides and in any event he's now in u.s. custody and at some point, we don't know when, will be brought to the u.s. to stand trial. the first suspect to be charge ed. >> do we know more on the effort and some of the details involved in capturing, to your point, a man whose name has been widely reported. we know he was sought after for some time. >> the details of the operation, no. i don't have those at this point. i know, it was a joint operation by the u.s. military and the fbi. that's an interesting legal point. there would be some question about whether the military would have had the power to operate on its own. given it was basically an arrest by the fbi assisted by the u.s. military. >> sure. thank you very much. >>> we'll be right back. the fact is, it comes standard with an engine that's been called the benchmark of its class. really, guys, i thought... it also has more rear legroom than other midsize sedans. and the volkswagen passat has a lowe

have a twenty live in turmoil brought economic instability to libya oil production has dropped sharply and has so far failed to reach pre uprising levels the g.d.p. bounced back a little following the revolution but start of falling again a spot with debt steadily rose the election is now being hailed by many as a way out of the crisis but the director of libya's first policy think tank believes there are still mad challenges ahead. the difficulty is whether or not those that are chosen through elections are respected by the collective will of the people where the militias or other on the groups respect the outcomes of an actual electoral process are there for the symptoms in libya that could. result in a civil conflict complet amongst royds and called for the works various militias newberg amongst various students. though i would say that's a very very new want to conclude that it's mainly conflict over financial assets so i wouldn't say it's a people versus people who are tired versus town or lot lot but i would say that there are some dangerous for the moment. coming up on our inter

human rights watch documented -- we were in libya. our people went into gaddafi's former secret service headquarters and discovered the files that shows the u.s. was sending prisoners to libya to be interrogated where they were tortured. we have called for criminal prosecutions on this basis. the kernel prosecution is not the only touchdown for criticism -- but criminal prosecution is not going touchdown for criticism. >> chavez and maduro have nowhere near the human rights record of the obama administration. the core that is question, is whether or not hrw chooses to operationalize its relatively tepid criticisms of obama in a given the severity of those human rights violations. let's take the case of drone strikes in yemen for example. human rights watch is advocating not for the immediate cessation of drone strikes, which have killed hundreds of civilians around the world, but asking for greater transparency on the legal rationale for continuation of those drone strikes. the idea the united dates can treat the entire planet as a le

libya has called the capture a kidnapping and says he should be tried in libya, not in the united states. let's discuss the legalities. joining us from new york, our chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin. if libya wants him, is it okay for the u.s. legally to send in special operations forces, fbi agents, go into libya, snatch him, put him on a boat in the mediterranean and bring him back to the united states? >> that's up to the united states. the libya and the united states can have a diplomatic dispute about this. but a defendant himself cannot go to court in washington, d.c. where this case is going to be prosecuted and say, oh, i prefer to be prosecuted in libya. he is he has no challenge, he has no standing to challenge this. he has no right to object. >> the fact is, there's so much chaos in libya right now, there's a semblance of a government but not much, as we all know, those of us who know what's going on in libya. also, u.s. officials say khattalah has not been read his so-called miranda rights on that ship or after he was captured. republicans say he shouldn't be read his miran

you have been forced to flee libya. you are the kind of people that this country desperately needs at the moment, but what sort of message is being sent to activists like yourself? >> it's -- their life is in danger. they are threatened. they -- whatever -- whoever speaks about human rights, about control, about law, about justice, they will be killed. this is the message that they want to deliver to these human rights activists that you cannot speak in libya. but saloa was a great woman that she could never be violent, and she fought for -- for her cause, and she paid her life for that, and unfortunately this is happening a lot for other -- other activists, women that also flee the country or got killed or are now scared and trying to have a low profile, and this country is really in danger. i mean if these people that's really care about the country and libya really need either get killed or have to leave the country or be silent, then they won't be law and order, but what is happening now that the army is trying to g

with groups in libya, governments coming and going, some people doubt that. but also it doesn't answer the question of why did the u.s. government respond the way that it did? and many people still feel, rightly or wrongly, that it responded too slowly, or else it tried to pass the buck upon blaming that controversial video. >> what do you mean responding like it did? you're talking about the incident of benghazi, that's what you're talking jab. >> exactly, responding to the embassy siege. people are raising questions are exact how the state department responded and how is knew and when it knew. and i think there are questions about competence that come out of the issue of benghazi. >> and then fast forward, we talk about the arrest last week. it's your belief that instead of this arrest being considered a victory in the u.s., it's only deepened the divide. you wrote in fact on this subject for cnn.com's opinion page, you say this, quote, democrats hoping to capture of ahmed abu khattala will bring some type of closure to the benghazi issue are sorely mistake

and libya. well aware that the uss trying to get him, after all there's been i think now two attempts, this would be the third to try to arrest him in libya. he was on the run, not only from u.s. authorities, but also, from the current government in libya with whom he was out of favor. so, he in essence would not get sanctuary from the government to prevent this. officials here say that to some extent worked to the advantage of the u.s., andrea. >> thanks so much, pete. we should point out that he was a continuing and recuring embarrassment to the administration because he was sitting and drinking in cafes in benghazi and elsewhere in libya for days after that attack with no one bothering to arrest him. we'll, of course, have updates throughout the hour. >>> meanwhile, iraq. violence continues to wage as the fighting inches closer to baghdad. a police station was attacked baqubah north of the iraqi capital. the government says shiite forces repelled the insurgents but this is the closest that th

you went to libya once again in 2013. that report aired on cnn around the time of the anniversary, 2013, of the attack in benghazi, killing those four americans. you see that now. it's pretty chilling. here's the question, how difficult was it to find him, because it's taken the u.s., clearly, a long time to capture this guy. he was one of the most wanted. >> well, it wasn't that difficult, wolf, as you saw in that report. we weren't the first journalists to speak to him. although we were the first television crew. there had been other print journalists, a handful of them before us, that had managed to reach out to him as well. this was not a man who appeared concerned for his security either. he had a security detail with him. members of one of the other smaller islamist militias. now what might have been a factor in the duration of time it took for the americans to pinpoint him is, one, the political climate in libya. launching this kind of a snatch and grab operation is one incredibly difficult militarily speaking. als

libya is having a difficult time today. >> what is our role to influence libya? >> in libya, we have tried hard to help a government come to the fore that is legitimate and has staying power. for a while, that was the case and now they have had a series of prime ministers handing over to another. they have a rebellious congress that is at odds with the government. we have tried very hard to help them build their security apparatus. gaddafi ran that place for 40 years as a one-man band. there were no ministries that function. there are no institutions of the state. they were starting from scratch with no history of how to govern. unfortunately, the various militia in libya but came to the fore during the revolution have turned on each other and there are extremists within libya that have gained some prominence and they are now being countered by those that are anti-extremist. it is a messy situation. >> with respect to the question of understanding with the present strategy was, i want to read two editorial opinions. the address did not match. the hype was largely

he was living out in the open in libya for sometime. i mean he was interviewed by reporters and the press last year, can you address why it took so long and whether there was notification or coordination with the libyan? >> we have long maintained on the conitations of libya, we have long made clear we would hold accountable the perpetrators of benghazi. this is no surprise to anyone least of all the libyan government. they were notified about this capture operation: i am sorry, your other one. was living, well, look, terrorist go to great lengths to evade capture. and it can be, it can be a çcomplicated process trying get at them. and you don't ever want to execute a mission like this, a complicated mission like this you know, without having, without having the proper information and resources all in place. and so what matters is not that, that it, that it took a matter of time to get him, but that we got him. and i can't speak for his living habits. just for the argument sake he was living in clear sight and he is not anymore. >> an

but does this mean the end of her work in libya today? >> one of the core things about women leaders around the world is that they pay it forward. and they bring others with them. and it's important to know that she was engaging others in libya and it is a great loss for the libyan people today. but there are other women leaders that embody what vital voices believes in. and they will continue her work. >> so she was engaged, then, what you are saying is that perhaps this is a characteristic of women leaders generally, she was engaged in mentoring and in order to progress her work, even without her being there? >> that's right. she was mentoring. she was paying it forward. she was insuring that the next generation would also have a voice and that is critical for women's leader blip is & is this something that women leaders tend to do? >> yes. we have found it globa globally. at vital voices, there are core leadership principles that all women leaders exhibit, and that is deep roots in their community, paying it forward, crossing lines tha

let's start with the raid in libya. why did it take so long to get the guy. reporters like cbs news elizabeth palmer spoke with him weeks after the attack and reported that he didn't look like a wanted man, that he was sipping mango juice in a benghazi hotel. >> what matters is he has no longer sipping maquarie banko juice in libya. he's in u.s. custody in a secure location. he'll meet justice. that's number one. while he may have found it enjoyable to talk to reporters, they are good at evading justice. it takes a long time, sometimes, to have enough information and the resources in the right places to conduct a mission like this. this is complex military operation, in coordination with law enforcement personnel. it was not about rushing to it. we wanted to make sure it was successful. it was. americans are safer. certainly people in libya. >> talking about coordination, we know the fbi and other agencies had trouble getting access because of the lian government, and the -- libyan government, and the u.s. government did not notify the libyans about the raid.

is it around libya? what are you most concerned about? >> libya has to be one of the top ones. the country is very close to civil war. there is the whole islamist movement. yesterday,ay before they had to interim prime ministers. no constitution. there was a big expectation in the market. the if is, what does -- what if libya comes back? now -- a lot of that is going into domestic consumption, which means exports are near zero. iraq is adjusting because they declared a state of emergency yesterday. impact oilt production directly, but it does have implications. you could see little bit of a slowdown in the momentum. the kurdish trying to sell their oil but they cannot. nobody is taking it. >> what is iran -- they have faced relief from international sanctions. the world tries to strike a deal. of likely is a full lifting sanctions on oil imports? >> very unlikely. that was the second big if. with iranian reduction came back -- what if iranian barrels came back? the fact that they are talking is positive. but things were moving a lot better even a month and a half ago. is, ok, w
