                      US Captures Benghazi Attack Suspect

   by Jeff Seldin

   U.S. officials say that one of the ringleaders of the 2012 attack on
   the U.S. Embassy in Banghazi has been captured.
   "I can confirm that on Sunday, June 15 the U.S. Military -- in
   cooperation with law enforcement personnel -- captured Ahmed Abu
   Khatallah, a key figure in the attacks on U.S. facilities in Benghazi,
   Libya, in September 2012," Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby
   told reporters Tuesday.
   Kirby said the suspect is in U.S. custody in "a secure location outside
   of Libya", adding that no civilian casualties were incurred during the
   operation.
   "All U.S. personnel involved in the operation have safely departed
   Libya," he said.
   Aboard Air Force One, White House spokesperson Jay Carney described
   Khatallah's capture as "an important milestone".
