A security official says
the leader of an Islamic extremist militia in Libya suspected of
involvement in an attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador has
been shot.
Sufyan bin Qumu, a former
Guantanamo Bay detainee, was shot Sunday in the area of al-Thruwn in the
eastern city of Derna, a stronghold of Islamic extremists.
The security official says he was
taken to a nearby hospital and is in the intensive care unit. He spoke
anonymously in line with regulations.
Residents of eastern Libya, where the September attack against the
U.S. consulate took place, have been standing up to Ansar al-Shariah.
Protesters stormed the group’s compound in Benghazi days after the
attack.No suspects have been named in the attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
