"We have never forgotten those heroes, and we have never stopped seeking justice for that crime against our nation. In fact, from day one, Kash and Dan would sit in meetings and say, 'we're going to get 'em,' and they did," Bondi also added in a statement.

The suspect, identified as Zubayar al-Bakoush, was brought to the US overnight. The attack which took place at the US consulate in Benghazi in 2012 took the lives of four Americans, including then-Ambassador Christopher Stevens.

US Attorney of Washington Jeanine Pirro was also present at the press conference announcing the arrest, and said, "Let me be very clear — there are more of them out there. Time will not stop us from going after these predators, no matter how long it takes, in order to fulfill our obligation to those families who suffered horrific pain at the hands of these violent terrorists."

FBI Director Kash Patel said of the arrest, "Early this morning, the FBI and our partners executed a Foreign Transfer of Custody (FTOC) of Zubayr al-Bakoush - one of the individuals allegedly behind the deadly 2012 terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya where four Americans were killed: Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty."

"After more than a decade of American pursuit, Al-Bakoush landed in Virginia earlier this morning and is in custody. He will face charges later today. We will have more to say at a later time - but this is a massive moment for the country and a clear message from President Trump’s administration that those who attack our service members will ultimately find American justice, no matter how long it takes," he added.

Two others have been prosecuted for their roles in the attack as well, including Libyan national Ahmed Abu Khatallah, who was the purported leader of the attack, in 2014.
