| Libya Says 'New Elements' in Killing of U.S. Ambassador |
| 2015-04-08 |
| [AnNahar] Libya's internationally recognized parliament said Tuesday it has uncovered "new elements" behind the 2012 liquidation of the U.S. ambassador when the American consulate was stormed in eastern city Benghazi. "I have been tasked today with leading a team of inquiry," Tareq Saqar al-Jeruchi, deputy head of the parliament's security and defense committee, told AFP. He said the team had "new elements on the real perpetrators of the attack" and would work closely with the FBI and Congressional commissions of inquiry, although he did not elaborate on the identities of the assailants. A Libyan parliamentary delegation is to travel to the United States for consultations with members of Congress, Jeruchi said. Christopher Stevens, the ambassador, and three other Americans were killed in the September 11, 2012 attack on the consulate that was said at the time to be the work of jihadist group Ansar al-Sharia ...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet... , which Washington has branded a "terrorist" organization. U.S. special forces seized a Libyan national, Ahmed Abu Khattala, as a chief suspect in a 2014 raid near Benghazi and handed him over to American judicial authorities. Libya has been run by two governments and two parliaments since August, when an Islamist-backed militia alliance overran the capital Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... The government recognized by the international community fled to the country's far east and set up in the city of Tobruk. |

| #2 Evidently there's the possibility of stray facts out there, plus the need for 'choir practice' (i.e. the need to make sure that everybody sings the same song.) |
