A federal jury came back with a guilty verdict for the following counts:The jury found Abu Khatallah not guilty on the four murder charges of the US personnel killed in the September 2012 attack on the US office in Benghazi. In 2016, the Justice Department announced it would not pursue the death penalty against Abu Khatallah -- opting instead for a maximum sentence of life in prison. For years, Abu Khatallah was the only Benghazi suspect in US custody but that recently changed when President Donald Trump announced the capture of a second individual: Mustafa al Imam. However, the defense argued that Abu Khatallah was not a radical terrorist but rather a "Libyan patriot" who fought to free the country from Gadhafi. Correction: This article has been updated to reflect the final charges on which Abu Ahmed Khatallah was found guilty and his possible maximum sentence.
