WASHINGTON, DC: US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro shared a very chilling message for te**orists after Zubayr Al-Bakoush was arrested and charged in connection with the killings of US Ambassador J Christopher Stevens and three other Americans in a 2012 attack on US facilities in Benghazi, Libya.

Al-Bakoush is suspected to be one of the co-conspirators behind the fatal attack, which was reportedly executed by the militant group Ansar al-Sharia on the night of September 11 and the early morning of September 12.

During an appearance on ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ on Sunday, February 8, Pirro said, “The American cavalry never came, to our disappointment, in 2012," but she noted, "We're coming for you now. We've got him. We've got a lot more coming.”

The former judge also went on to blast the government of former President Barack Obama for doing very little following the attack.

She claimed, “The president said we did everything we could. They didn't do everything they could. Americans watched in horror as four Americans were being killed, not by peaceful protests that went awry.”

Pirro then praised President Donald Trump while calling out the Obama administration, as she added, “Benghazi was the most dangerous place on earth for Americans, and they put them there without protection. And they lied to us on the Sunday morning talk shows. They lied to us in Congress... It was only through President Trump that we're now going to get some kind of justice.”

This came after, on Friday, January 6, Attorney General Pamela Bondi said, “The te**orist attack on our Benghazi Embassy was a dark and tragic day for our nation that robbed us of four American heroes.”

“Now, thanks to our brave federal agents, one of its alleged key participants will be prosecuted in an American courtroom on American soil. Under President Trump’s leadership, this Department of Justice will never rest in our mission to Make America Safe Again and deliver swift, severe justice to our enemies,” Bondi stated.

Besides, FBI Director Kash Patel also addressed the arrest of Al-Bakoush as he insisted on the efficiency of his agents.

“No matter how long it takes, or where you are located, the FBI remains steadfast in our duty to see justice served against those who harm our citizens. I’m grateful to the men and women of the FBI for their unrelenting efforts to bring us to where we stand today – this defendant will be prosecuted on US soil,” he asserted.

Meanwhile, it has been said that Al-Bakoush’s case will be prosecuted by the National Security Section of the US Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia.
