IGOR BOBIC 2:46 PM EDT, THURSDAY MARCH 14, 2013

A man suspected of involvement in the deadly September 11 attack upon a U.S. consulate in Benghazi last year has been detained in Libya, sources tell CNN:

Both sources confirmed the man's name as Faraj al-Shibli (also spelled Chalabi). One of the sources, who has been briefed on the arrest by Western intelligence officials, said al-Shibli 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 with any offense related to the attack in Benghazi on September 11, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
