Libyan National Arrested for 2012 Benghazi Attack, Trump Admin Doubles Down on Iran Sanctions
In a major development on the terrorism front, the U.S. Department of Justice announced Friday that Libyan national Zubayr al-Bakoush, a key alleged coconspirator in the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, State Department employee Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, has been arrested and brought to American soil. According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, speaking at a Justice Department press conference alongside FBI Director Kash Patel and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 3 a.m. that morning after transfer from Libya, facing an unsealed eight-count indictment including murder, attempted murder, arson, and providing material support for terrorism. The DOJ press release details how al-Bakoush conducted surveillance and tried to breach U.S. mission vehicles during the assault by Ansar al-Sharia militants.
Bondi emphasized President Trump's commitment to justice, stating, "If you commit a crime against the American people anywhere in this world, we will find you," while Pirro noted the charges were first filed under seal in 2015, vowing relentless pursuit of remaining suspects. Patel credited Trump's support for law enforcement, calling it a direct result of backing the blue amid global hunts.
Shifting to state-sponsored threats, the White House released a fact sheet today detailing President Trump's new Executive Order reaffirming the national emergency over Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. It establishes tariffs on countries acquiring Iranian goods or services to counter Tehran's proxy militias, nuclear pursuits, and attacks on U.S. forces, building on recent strikes like Operation Midnight Hammer that destroyed Iran's nuclear sites.
No active domestic plots or imminent threats within the U.S. were reported in the past 48 hours, though the House Homeland Security Committee flagged ongoing agroterrorism risks in a media advisory for an upcoming hearing.
