A team of FBI agents finally arrived in Benghazi, Libya, to investigate the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate and has narrowed the suspects to one or two people in an extremist group, the Associated Press reports.
The AP said agents swooped in before dawn Thursday and left after about 12 hours following weeks of waiting to access the scene of the attack that left Ambassador J. Christopher Sevens and three other Americans dead.
The agents were joined by several dozens U.S. special operations forces, the AP reported, citing an unnamed senior Defense Department official.
The FBI said the agents visited “the relevant locations” in the city, but would not say whether any evidence was found.
A U.S. counterterrorism official said the probe has focused on one or two suspects in the Libya-based extremist group Ansar al-Shariah.
