On February 6, 2026, U.S. authorities announced the arrest and extradition of Zubayar al-Bakoush, a key suspect in the 2012 Benghazi consulate attack that resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that al-Bakoush was taken into custody by the FBI and flown to the United States, landing at Andrews Air Force Base at 3 a.m. (The Frontier Post, BBC US & Canada). Al-Bakoush faces multiple charges, including murder, arson, and terrorism-related offenses, as highlighted by Bondi during a press conference (The Guardian, NBC News World). This arrest marks a significant development in the long-standing pursuit of justice for the victims of the Benghazi attack, which was initially perceived as a spontaneous protest but later identified as a planned extremist attack (South China Morning Post, Associated Press).
