Report: U.S. Lays Groundwork for Libya Retaliation

HeadlineOct 03, 2012

The Obama administration has launched the first steps toward military action against potential suspects in the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, last month. The New York Times reports the Joint Special Operations Command is preparing “target packages” that could be used to kill or capture militants deemed to have been involved in the violence that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The options under discussion include drone strikes, special operations raids and joint missions with Libyan forces.
