US prosecutors filed a sealed criminal complaint against a Libyan man suspected of playing a leading role in the 2012 attack on the US mission in Benghazi, according to two US officials briefed on the case.
Ahmed Abu Khattalah, who investigators said is a leader in in the group Ansar al-Sharia, was charged in connection with the attack that killed four Americans, including US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, said the officials, who asked not to be identified discussing the sealed complaint. They declined to specify the charges in the case.
Khattalah is the first individual charged in an attack that has become a political flashpoint between President Barack Obama’s administration and congressional Republicans. The officials declined to say whether efforts had been made to detain Khattalah.
The FBI has been investigating the deadly attack and released photographs of three men in May who the agency said were at the US post on the night of the attack.
