FBI agents have enough evidence against five men accused in the Benghazi attack to seize them by military force as suspected terrorists, the Associated Press reports.
But the AP reported that the agents don’t have enough evidence to charge the men in a civilian court, which is the Obama administration’s preference.
In the meantime, the men remain at large while the FBI continues to investigate.
The AP wrote that the probe is being complicated by the reduction in U.S. investigators in the region and the restrictions of helping Libyan law enforcement.
Obama has been shifting away from holding terrorists as enemy combatants and holding them at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
