\nOne of the architects of the 2012 attack at a US embassy in Benghazi, Libya, has been arrested and will be brought to justice, Trump administration officials announced Friday.
\u201cToday, I\u2019m proud to announce that the FBI has arrested one of the key participants behind the Benghazi attack,\u201d Attorney General Pam Bondi said at a news conference in DOJ headquarters.
\u201cZubayr Al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 3 a.m. this morning. He is in our custody. He was greeted by [FBI] Director [Kash] Patel and US Attorney Jeanine Pirro,\u201d she added.
\u201cWe will prosecute this alleged terrorist to the fullest extent of the law. He\u2019ll face charges related to murder, terrorism, arson, among others. Let this case serve as a reminder. If you commit a crime against the American people, anywhere in this world. President Trump\u2019s Justice Department will find you. It might not happen overnight, but it will happen. You can run, but you cannot hide.\u201d
The Sept. 11, 2012, assault at the diplomatic compound took the lives of four Americans, including then-Ambassador Chris Stevens, State Department official Sean Smith and two CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods.
\u201cHillary Clinton famously once said about Benghazi. What difference at this point does it make? Well, it makes a difference to Donald Trump. It makes a difference to those families,\u201d Bondi added. \u201cAnd 14 years later, it makes a difference to law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n
