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 options under discussion include drone strikes, special operations raids and joint missions with Libyan forces.
