A suspect
in the 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, that claimed the life
of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, was found
dead Monday, according to reports from CNN.
The
network cites a 'Libyan source and locals in the town of Marj,' who say
Faraj al-Shibli was found dead in the eastern Libyan town.
The suspected terrorist al-Shibli was last seen as he was being detained by a local militia in Marj on Friday or Saturday.
Intelligence
officials discovered a link between al-Shibli and al Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), which officials believe took part in the
attack on the U.S. diplomatic complex in Benghazi.
CNN reports that al-Shibli also had contact with al Qaeda members in Pakistan.
In
March 2013, al-Shibli was detained by Libyan officials who suspected he
had played a part in the attack. During his detention, FBI officials
were allowed to interview him in front of Libyan officials.
The
Libyan warlord who allegedly led the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate
in Benghazi, Libya, has been captured by Delta Force commandos.
Ahmed
Abu Khattala was taken off the streets of Benghazi and whisked away to a
'secure location outside of Libya' for interrogation on Sunday, the Washington Post reports.
Fox News
reports that he is currently en route to the United States aboard a
U.S. Navy ship. Once on American soil, he is expected to face trial on
terrorism charges in federal court in Washington, D.C.
