US court overrules Ahmed Abu Khatala's 28-year sentence
An American appellate court has overturned the prison sentence issued against Libyan Ahmed Abu Khatala, who was convicted of terrorism crimes related to the 2012 Benghazi attack that resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. The panel ordered the case to be sent back to the federal court in Washington for resentencing, noting that the 28-year prison term was unreasonably lenient and did not reflect the severity of the crimes committed. Abu Khatala was arrested in 2014 and convicted in 2017 on terror charges, while he was acquitted of the murder charges. The trial forms part of the American efforts to hold accountable those involved in the Benghazi attacks, events that sparked widespread controversy over security and political responsibility.
