US arrests Benghazi suspect, Bondi says
Zubayr Al-Bakoush faces eight charges including murder and arson for the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed four Americans, marking a decade-long effort by U.S. authorities to achieve justice.
- On Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced, "The FBI has arrested one of the key participants behind the Benghazi attack. Zubayar al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 3 a.m. this morning. He is in our custody."
- On Sept. 11, 2012, at least 20 militants breached the Benghazi consulate and set fires, killing four U.S. personnel including Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith.
- Earlier prosecutions saw Ahmed Abu Khattala captured by U.S. special forces in 2014 and two other defendants arrested and sentenced, while defense attorneys argued evidence was inconclusive.
- A Republican-led congressional panel concluded the Obama administration had security lapses and a slow response but found no wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton, then-Secretary of State, while Democrats denounced it as a "conspiracy theory".
- The case spurred a series of U.S. investigations and political clashes, and the Benghazi attacks became a symbol of chaos in Benghazi, Libya, highlighting regional instability and terrorism.
