A man suspected of involvement in the deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi is being held in Libya.
That's according to two sources -- one of them who was briefed on the arrest by Western intelligence officials.
Both sources confirm the man arrested is Faraj al-Shibli -- who was a member of a militant group that tried to overthrow the Gadhafi regime in the 90's.
He was detained within the past two days and had recently returned from a trip to Pakistan.
It is not known whether he has been charged.
The September 11th attack on the U.S. Consulate left four Americans dead, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
