The suspect, Muhammad Jamal, was imprisoned in Egypt last fall and in September was being held by the Egyptian government. His current whereabouts could not be confirmed, said U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. One official said Jamal remains in Egyptian custody, contrary to reports that he was in Yemen.

Jamal was labeled a designated terrorist by the United Nations Oct. 18, identifying him and the group he formed, the Muhammad Jamal Network, as linked to the Sept. 11, 2012, Benghazi attack. ….

The identification of Jamal as an Al Qaida member linked to the Benghazi attack contradicts a recent New York Times investigative report that concluded there was no evidence Al Qaida or foreign terrorists were behind the Benghazi attack that is currently the subject of several congressional inquiries.
