New Charges in Benghazi Attacks

The Justice Department has brought new charges against a Libyan militant accused in the 2012 Benghazi attacks, including counts that carry the death penalty.

The new 18-count superseding indictment announced Tuesday adds multiple charges of murder against Ahmed Abu Khattala.
