More than a decade after the Benghazi attack, one of the alleged perpetrators is captured

 


U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest of Zubayr Al-Bakoush, identified by authorities as one of the main suspects in the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, an attack that claimed the lives of four American citizens. According to the indictment, he faces serious charges including murder, terrorism, and arson, crimes that could result in a lengthy prison sentence.

The announcement not only reopens a painful chapter in U.S. foreign policy but also reignites the public debate about the government's responsibility and response to the attack. During the presentation of the case, Bondi alluded to a statement made at the time by Hillary Clinton, who questioned the relevance of continuing to discuss the incident, asking, "What difference does it make at this point?"

However, the prosecutor emphasized that for many, the difference remains enormous. She stated that President Donald Trump has insisted that the case must not be forgotten and that the pursuit of justice remains a priority, especially for the victims' families, for whom the passage of time has not lessened the pain or the demand for answers.

In that regard, the capture of Al-Bakoush represents, according to authorities, a significant step forward in the effort to clarify the facts and ensure that those responsible are held accountable before the law.
