our special forces now arrest katala? wow. we call found him and chatted with him. and the american drones fly overhead, he flips them the bird. why two years? why did you wait? could it be, mr. president, that if you arrested him sooner, he would have debunked that despicable video theory. you know, the one you all lied about. can you imagine you indict katala and he comes in and says you dumb schmucks, what video? we all killed you because we're al qaeda's cousins. we kill americans. mr. president, americans don't trust you for good reason. we're not convinced you even know who the enemy is. you release terrorists, you cut deals with iran, you dance around with your political correctness while they sharpen their knives. mr. president, you are playing a very dangerous game, for which you are ill prepared. and it is the american people who will suffer. and that's my open. with me now, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. and fox news contributor john bolton. good evening, ambassador. what is america's interest, if any, in iraq today. >> well, i think we have a very su

last year, katala was charged with 3 federal crimes in connection with the benghazi attack: murder, aiding terrorists, and a weapons offense. >>> is this a high stakes trial for the obama administration? >> yeah. at this point, who knows what's going to come out of this thing? this does not look good. the whole way this thing was handled did not inspire the confidence of the country. >> the way the arrest was hired does not inspire the rest of the country? i think it was a daring raid where they captured him. after two years of the right grousing about, they're saying the capture was timed to coincide with hillary's book tour and they want him to go to guantanamo. we have several high profile terrorists in american jails for life. it's appropriate that he gets tried here. >> great. but it's only a massive circus trial if the administration wants to make it into one. there are far higher profile people in custody including moham ed, the master mind of another 9/11 attack that still has not been tried. he's being held and is maybe going to be tried -- why not focus on that trial right now. >

so katala slipped away. he had been living in plain sight and had done interviews with multiple news outlets. now he's in u.s. custody, neil. >> i didn't even know about the multiple interviews. jennifer, thank you very, very much. >>> to colonel bob mcginnis, if we have to wait read miranda rights here, all bets are off, right, colonel? >> that's true, neil. we need to find out who he knows, what organization he's affiliated with. arms have left libya over the years, found their way to syria. that shows relationships and given what is going on in iraq and syria today, elsewhere, we have got reason to be very concerned. >> all right, now, when you say we have reason to be concerned and he knows coming here that he will be treated as a criminal, not as a terrorist, and so read his miranda rights what would compel him to talk to military authorities? >> well, probably not much, quite frankly. i've been down to guantanamo a number of times, listened to the interrogations, piecing together is this information or

they are going to have to go after katala.n't work out because the libyan government got so concerned about the u.s. forces being there. they backed away from getting katala at that time. not too far behind the scenes, we know that u.s. special forces, the intelligence community, the fbi had been in and out of benghazi, in and out of the region very quietly, very covertly, keeping track of him. katala one of several suspects in the benghazi attacks. there are other guys they want to get just as bad, but this is something they really wanted. said to be associted with the al qaeda affiliate element operating in that region and said to be very involved in the planning. benghazi is such a complicated situation in term of who did what, who was behind it, what elements were behind it. it's this constant sort of unending dialog, was it al qaeda, was it local al qaeda, affiliate elements in that part of libya, was it outsiders. that debate goes on and on. but katala very specifically is someone they feel had very good understanding th

we learned more about the mission to get katala, he was lured to the location after delta force received intelligence from locals. special forces captured him, no shots fired, he wasn't guarded. it is curious, the timing, i know the suspect was identified early after the attack and he certainly was accessible to a range of reporters from various international media outlets who interviewed him inside benghazi. so what do you mean by curious timing? a lot of people are puzzled as to why it took so long. >> well as sam and i figured out for our book, "under fire," the suspects connected to the special mission compound attack

special operations community could have picked up katala as well as many others, many months ago. >> that's the question. why haven't they picked him up and those other people you're referring to? >> these decisions are always political . the special operations community that's putting together the tactical plans, they are ready to go when the green light is given. but the green light is given from the national security council and that would be a question that you would have to address to them. i don't know the answer to. >> are you surprised sam that they've moved so slowly? >> no. timing is always of question, and everything is always politicized. but their operational requirements could have been taken into consideration, it could have been that the opportunity to snatch him without there being massive firefights or any other type of resistance could have been dependent on a particular opportunity. there have been terrorists in the past that the u.s. intelligence community has gone after and has come very close to catching. 13, 14 years after the fact. i think the important thing

a single count was red from the indictment, a charge of providing material support to terrorists, katalaial says there will likely be superseding indictment at a later time including additional counts. he has denied involved in the attacks, saying he was just trying to organize a rescue of trapped people, but insist it is an important arrest. >> he matters. we believe we have a strong case. >> authorities say they're still investigating and seeking more information that could lead to the capture of an additional co-conspirators in the benghazi attacks. in washington, jennifer griffin, fox news. >>> happening now, in new jersey, still no sign of the woman wanted for the brutal beating of another woman and it is all caught on tape. twenty-five year old tia harris still has not turned herself in to face charges of aggravated assault and terroristic threats. bail has already been set at $35,000. police say she is the woman you see here in this video attacking another woman, tan happened while the victim's two year old son watched in horror. then the attacker allegedly threatened to hurt the
