U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William Burns traveled to Libya on Thursday to meet with the country's Prime Minister Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah in a trip considered rare. A photo of Burns and Dbeibah was released by the Libya Review. The visit by Burns is considered to be the most senior visit for a U.S. official to Libya since President Joe Biden took office as U.S. president. As the Associated Press reported, there was no immediate statement from Washington regarding Burns' trip to North Africa. In 2012, U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens was killed, along with three other Americans, by Islamic militants in the northeastern costal city of Benghazi.
