September 11 terrorists went after a u. S. Diplomatic post in benghazi, libya, on september 11, 2012, killing four americans, including the u. S. Ambassador, christopher stevens. Today, the alleged ringleader is in custody, the first arrest in the case. This was president obama earlier today. Its important for us to send a message to the world that when americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice. And thats a message i said the day after it happened, and regardless of how long it takes9 but u. S. Intelligence ultimately tracked khattala to a small seaside villa south of benghazi. Sunday evening, after dark, u. S. Commandos and f. B. I. Agents silently converged on the home and quickly captured khattala without firing a shot. No one was hurt. Pentagon spokesman admiral john kirby. The important thing for everybody to remember is hes no longer on the streets and he will be held accountable. He will be tried in a court of law here in the united states. Reporter khattala is now on a u. S. Navy ship in the mediterranean, where hes being interrogated by a special intelligence team. Counterterrorism experts want information about alleged Co Conspirators and potential threats. Sources say other islamic radicals have also been charged in the benghazi case. Those charges remain sealed. But 22 months after the attacks that killed four americans, only khattala is in custody. Today, f. B. I. Director james comey pledged to press the investigation, and had this warning for other suspects but the message is, we will shrink the world to find you. Well shrink the world to bring to you justice, and this is a good example of that. Reporter now, once the intelligence interrogation at sea is over, khattala will be read his miranda rights and be brought to washington to face charges. He could face the death penalty. Glor a week after the attack in benghazi, cbs news correspondent Elizabeth Palmer was the first reporter to track khattala down in benghazi and interview him. Elizabeth is in syria tonight. Liz, tell us about that meeting. Reporter well, wed heard ahmed abu khattalas name in connection with the assault on the u. S. Mission several times, so we simply asked a member of the Libyan Security forces if he could set up a meeting. Abu khattala came along very openly to a hotel cafe, and i put it to him that the then president of libya was calling him the prime suspect. He denied it. He said he was at the u. S. Mission that night, but hed arrived late, just looking for somebody. He was dressed in a long, white libyan robe, and as a conservative muslim, he wouldnt shake my hand, as a woman. But he was very polite, and he was, above all, confident. He said, if the libyans want to come and arrest me, they know where i live. However, we did notice, as he left the hotel, his Security Team were checking under his car to see if anybody had put a bomb there. Glor Elizabeth Palmer from syria tonight. Liz, thank you very much. In nebraska, twin tornadoes last night killed two people and hurt more than a dozen. Today, the National Weather service said one tornado was an ef4, with wind as high as 200 miles per hour.

We believe she was in a mobile home on main street and it was completely devastated, and we found her in that vicinity, along with another critically injured female. Her mother is expected to recover. Her brother, cody murphry, says the family moved here just four months ago. She was a smart, funny girl. I mean, she just loved everybody. Reporter many here are stunned by the sudden destruction. The top floor of the matsons house was blown off. They took this cell phone video of their search for a wedding ring. Somehow, they found it. And already, residents here say that they plan to rebuild. And, jeff, a lot of people that we spoke with say that this town is already living up to its motto a tiny town too tough to die.

President obama today asked congressional leaders to meet with him tomorrow about the crisis in iraq as he considers his options. We have a series of reports tonight. First, Major Garrett with more on that white house meeting tomorrow. Reporter jeff, Administration Officials tell us the president will make the case for sending a limited number of special forces troops to iraq. The president had insisted he did not want to put boots on the ground in this newly flaring conflict, but now believes special forces are necessary to develop better intelligence on the sunni insurgents, should air strikes be ordered. The president also wants an up close assessment of the fighting strength and will of iraqi Security Forces in and around baghdad. Now, the president will not, we were told, present a prepackaged decision to congressional leaders, but seek consensus for as white house aides here readily acknowledge, the president will need political backing for this and any subsequent move he makes in iraq. Glor in iraq, sunni and shiite political leaders made a joint call for National Unity in the battle against sunni militants. Last week, the militants seized iraqs second largest city, mosul. Clarissa ward has the aftermath. Reporter on the road into mosul, the charred remains of military equipment left as iraqi soldiers fled. This video, shot by a local journalist for a french news channel, offers a rare glimpse of life in the city one week after it was taken over by the al qaeda Splinter Group isis. The markets are open and well stocked. But masked gunmen roamed streets. A long line snakes outside the isis recruiting center. Here in baghdad, there is also recruiting, as thousands of Volunteers Join shiite militias. Rallies like these are now a daily occurrence. These fighters told us they consider it a sacred duty to defend their city. Across town, markets were far quieter than usual today. Most people in baghdad dont believe that isis will come marching into the city, but what they fear is a surge in the number of bombings, and this city already averages about eight a day. A spokesman for the interior ministry our goal is it to liberate our cities. Reporter he denies iraq is in the midst of a sectarian civil war and that arming shiite volunteers is a dangerous idea. When you create these shiite militias, it reignites those old sectarian tensions. We dont have militias. Reporter you do have militias. We have tribes. Reporter i have seen militias. No, it is reporter badr brigade. Now we are talking with the tribes. We must liberate iraq, and iraq for sunni. Reporter we may be seeing a new wave of sectarian killings here in the capital. This morning, the bodies of four young men, presumed to be sunnis, were found in a neighborhood controlled by a shiite militia. They had been shot numerous times, and, of course, this is a chilling reminder for everyone here of that terrifying period in 2006 and 2007 when sectarian death squads terrorized the city. Glor Clarissa Ward in baghdad, thank you. Foreign journalists are not allowed into mosul. Holly williams talked to an iraqi who has seen whats happening. Reporter this doctor, who works in mosul, made his way through checkpoints to meet us a few miles outside the city. The islamic extremists known as isis have been welcome by many in mosul. Like the militants, most of its residents are sunni muslims who resent the Iraqi Government, which is dominated by shiite muslims. The doctor wouldnt show his face, not because hes frightened of isis, but because he fears retribution from iraqs government. Has isis enforced islamic law in mosul . Reporter he told us his hospital only has water for two hours a day because the Iraqi Government switched off the water supply. So things are better under isis . As the people say, it is better than a government. Its better. Reporter why . Because they gave them freedom. Reporter in internet videos, isis shows a very different face, including summary executions of its enemies. If you do not think the way they do, you die. Thats it. Reporter retired colonel harry schute fought in iraq during the u. S. Invasion and now advises iraqi politicians. He blames iraqs u. S. Backed government for dividing the country along religious lines and driving the countrys sunni muslims into the arms of isis. Can iraq survive as a state . Looking at it right now, i dont think so. I think the iraq that we had in our vision from, you know, a couple of years ago or whatever, is finished. Reporter some people here have told us that iraqs religious fault lines are now so deep that, jeff, the only way of avoiding allout civil war is to allow the country to split apart.

Good evening, im veronica de la cruz. Im ken bastida. A whistleblower brought that lawsuit against recology. Its a story we reported earlier this year at kpix 5. After a month long trial and over a week of deliberations, a San Francisco jury ordered recology to pay back 1. 3 million to ratepayers for bonuses it received in 2008. Those bonuses are for meeting recycling goals and diverting garbage from the landfill. As a result of making a false claim, they received a bonus in excess of 1. 3 million that they should not have received. Instead, that money should have gone into a pot that would the next year have reduced the amount that ratepayers in San Francisco paid to have their garbage collected. Reporter recology has an exclusive contract to both pick up garbage and recycle in San Francisco worth about 300 million a year and is guaranteed a 10 profit. What came out at trial was recology wasnt happy with just making 30 million a year. It had to cheat and make false claims to make a few extra dollars. Reporter the case was brought to light by brian mcveigh, a former supervisor at recology who has filed a separate lawsuit claiming he was fired in retaliation for reporting the fraud.
