Justice Department officials were escorting al-Imam by military plane to the United States, where he's expected to be tried in federal court. US forces captured al-Imam just before midnight local time Sunday in Misrata, on Libya's north coast, US officials said. Earlier this month, another man accused in the Benghazi attack, Ahmed Abu Khattala, went on trial in federal court in Washington. The Benghazi assault started in the evening when armed attackers scaled the wall of the diplomatic post and moved through the front gate. Initial accounts provided by administration officials, notably Obama's U.N. ambassador, Susan Rice, said the attack grew out of a protest against an anti-Muslim internet film.
