Captured: al Libi, Libyan suspect in the 1998 U.S. embassy attacks in Africa
Last weekend, 15 years after the fact, US Army Delta Forces captured Abu Anas al Libi. The raid and operation to apprehend him was approved by the Libyan government, though they reportedly weren't privy to all of the details.

Next up: Abu Khattala? Suspected leader in 2012 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya
Now, the US forces are on a mission to capture Libyan militia figure Ahmed Abu Khattala (no photo available). He is allegedly a key figure among those charged with the Sept 12, 2012 attack at the US embassy in Libya - which left Ambassador Stephens and two others dead. Khattala has recently lived openly in Benghazi and has even been interviewed by CNN's Arwa Damon.
Hoping the capture and trials of those involved in last year's attack don't take 15 years to accomplish. There's some concern that Khattala may be more difficult to apprehend than originally estimated, despite the Libyan government's reported cooperation, because Libi's capture was reported in the media so quickly - giving Khattala a possible head-up. (Libi's apprehension was supposed to be kept secret for at least a few days, but his family reported him as "abducted" almost immediately after he was captured.)
