Trump administration indicts Libyan linked to 2012 Benghazi attack

The Trump administration announced the capture and extradition of Libyan Zubayr Al-Bakoush, described as a key participant in the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed four Americans. He arrived in the United States to face an eight-count federal indictment charging murder, attempted murder, and material support for terrorism, among other offenses, and is expected to appear in a Washington, D.C., court. Officials framed this as a long-sought victory in Benghazi prosecutions, noting prior detentions of other Libyans involved.
