GWEN IFILL (Newshour): We return now to the U.S. Consulate attack in Benghazi. The only known suspect held in connection with the incident was released today in Tunisia. His attorney said he was freed because of a lack of evidence.
The attack, which killed U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans was seen by large crowds and captured on security cameras, but the culprits have remained elusive.
Libyan witnesses have reportedly placed a local leader from the militant group Ansar al-Sharia at the scene of the attack. This week, he survived a vigilante assassination attempt and remains at large.
For more on the status of the investigation, I'm joined by Nancy Youssef of McClatchy Newspapers.
