This word is one that you might hear in stories about crime:
这个词你可能在关于犯罪的报道中听过：
In what officials describe as a bold and courageous operation, U.S. forces quietly moved into an area near still dangerous Benghazi Sunday, capturing Ahmed Abu Khatallah, the suspected ringleader of the 2012 attack that left four Americans dead.
在一项被官员描述为大胆、英勇的行动中，美军于星期日安静地推进到仍旧危险的班加西附近，俘虏了艾哈迈德·阿布·哈塔拉。哈塔拉疑为2012年袭击事件的领导人，该袭击导致四名美国人死亡。
Ringleader is two words put together -- ring, and leader.
头目这个词是两个单词放在一起组成的——秘密集团，领导人。
It means the person in charge of a group of people. Usually they are involved in something illegal.
它的意思是：掌控一个组织的人。通常这些人与非法事件有关。

Our story was about the capture of the suspected ringleader of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
2012年，位于利比亚班加西的美国使馆受到了袭击，我们的报道就与抓捕涉嫌该袭击的头目有关。
