Suspects held over fatal consulate raid
Source: The Australian
LIBYA said last night it had arrested several suspects over the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi that killed ambassador Chris Stevens and three other US nationals.
The country's Deputy Interior Minister, Wanis al-Sharef, declined to give any details of the number of people in custody or their backgrounds "so as not to hamper the smooth running of the investigation".
"The Interior and Justice ministries have begun their investigations and evidence-gathering and some people have been arrested," Mr Sharef said late last night.

Well...some of them:

(5,068 posts)ENGHAZIFour people have been arrested in connection with the attack against the American consulate here that resulted in the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans, a Libyan official involved with the manhunt for the militants said.
Libyan security sources have a larger group of people under surveillance, the official said,
The Libyans have organized a multiagency task force, combining all available resources to hunt down the suspected Islamic militants, including intelligence, defense and interior officials, said the official. He declined to say how many suspects that the Libyans were watching, citing sensitivities of the continuing investigation.
"There is a group now that is under our custody, but there is a group we're following to know who's connected to them, and they are monitoring their phone calls," the official said.
