Yesterday,
on my orders, United States forces captured Mustafa al-Imam in Libya.
Because of this successful operation, al-Imam will face justice in the
United States for his alleged role
in the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, which resulted in the
deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and
Tyrone Woods—four brave Americans who were serving our country.
To
the families of these fallen heroes: I want you to know that your loved
ones are not forgotten, and they will never be forgotten.
Our
memory is deep and our reach is long, and we will not rest in our
efforts to find and bring the perpetrators of the heinous attacks in
Benghazi to justice.
I
want to thank our law enforcement, prosecutors, intelligence community,
and military personnel for their extraordinary efforts in gathering
evidence, interviewing witnesses, and tracking
down fugitives associated with the attack, capturing them, and
delivering them to the United States for prosecution.
The
United States will continue to support our Libyan partners to ensure
that ISIS and other terrorist groups do not use Libya as a safe haven
for attacks against United States citizens
or interests, Libyans, and others.
Libya’s
long-term stability and security are linked to its ability to form a
unified government and military, and we encourage all Libyans to support
the ongoing reconciliation process facilitated
by the United Nations and to work together to build a peaceful and
stable country.
