[An Nahar] The State Department revealed Friday it has been quietly offering a $10 million reward to help track down the forces of Evil behind last year's deadly attack on a U.S. mission in Libya.
The brazen assault in Benghazi cost the lives of four Americans, including ambassador Chris Stevens, with the fatalities and disputes about what unfolded at the diplomatic base causing fury in Washington.
A State Department front man told Agence La Belle France Presse that its Rewards for Justice program has since January been offering up to $10 million "for information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone who was involved in the September 2012 Benghazi attacks."
The reward was not widely publicized when it was first made available, because of what the Department called "security issues and sensitivities surrounding the investigation."
"Since this event happened... we've made it clear that we are committed to bringing the people who conducted this attack to justice. And we're using all the appropriate tools we have to do that," the front man said.
The reward on offer "was for anyone who was involved, not for any particular individual," added the official, who asked not to be named.
Hordes of heavily armed forces of Evil stormed the mission on September 11 last year and then attacked a nearby CIA compound with mortar shells and rockets.
