Despite their refusal to publish the names, or provide details of them, officials said Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Washington, they have identified the names of those who participated in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi in the past year, though the office asked the judicial authorities convicted.

They said that a large number of the accused belonged to the group «Ansar al-Sharia» Libya, and that they had planned in advance of the attack, the attack was not part of the demonstrations on that day, and they deliberately attack that is located on the anniversary of the attacks of 11 September 2001.

American officials said that none of the defendants is not in detention in Libya, but Libyan officials are helping U.S. investigators, but they were not arrested anyone yet.

He said one of the U.S. officials, who asked not to be named, or his job: «there is still a huge gap (in the investigation). We lack the information we need to complete the investigation ». Although the attack in Benghazi and investigations in which, finally disappeared because of political crises both internal and external, Congress held hearings on the subject earlier this year. The matter still important for criminal investigators. The House Republicans are determined to prove that President Barack Obama «Palace», and also that «cover up the failure before, during, and after the attack».

During the summer, he was chairman of the oversight committee in the House of Representatives, Darrell Issa (R-California) participated in a bitter debate with officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Committee on Accountability independent Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State, set up to investigate the attack.

Finally, Issa said: «we have learned, through the years, that the delay and stall and unconfirmed information is part of the (Obama's attempt) to be the subject an old story, but disappears». He said that the Obama administration «did not listen to the warnings early, did not respond to warnings, not even tried to respond to them ... And also, made false statements »after the attack.

On Tuesday, Issa sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry complained about the refusal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to facilitate the testimony of two men who were in the Diplomatic Security Bureau of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) at the time of the attack Benghazi. It was one of the two was seriously injured and remained in hospital until this summer.

On the other side, Kerry expressed Tmlmlh insistence of Republicans to revive the subject believes that «foreign» made it enough. Finally, he said during a congressional hearing: «I do not want to spend the next year talking about Benghazi».

Since last year, during the election campaign, Republicans said that the White House and the State note, early on, the role of the Ansar al-Sharia in the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three of his aides.

Obama reiterated that once you learn that the terrorists behind the attack was announced. But, Hillary Clinton, and former Secretary of State, said, immediately after the attack, the role of the terrorists was not known. Later, Clinton announced that they bear the responsibility for negligence in not detecting the role of terrorists in early, and apologized.

At that time, it was revealed TV «CNN» that three e-mails about the role of «Ansar al-Sharia» reached officials in Washington via e-mail, and pointed messages to the role of «Ansar al-Sharia», and that after two hours of the attack, the group claimed responsibility on front page in the site «Facebook» and site «Twitter».

The message from the American three messages: «Now, declares (Ansar al-Sharia) claimed responsibility for the attack in Benghazi on signatories (Facebook) and (Twitter)». The White House spokesman, Guy Carney, said the day after the attack: «There are no indications that this attack was planned earlier».

And five days later, an American news sources quoted the words of U.S. intelligence officials that the attack was carried out by «a few» of men. And that two or three of these have links to organization «Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb».

He said one of the officials: «There are people who have at least some relationship with (al-Qaeda in the Maghreb). Relations are not directly so we can say that al-Qaida planned and carried out the attack ».

At that time, an official said «Ansar al-Sharia» played a much larger role in sending fighters and providing weapons for the attack, though the militants «were preparing for the attack for weeks, but they were not regular, even after they began the battle sent fighters to bring heavier weapons».
