Wanted Benghazi Men: New Surveillance Photos Could Help FBI Find Attackers

The FBI put out new photos of three men they think might have information on the September 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya that left four Americans dead.

In a statement released Wednesday, the FBI said that the three suspects, "were on the grounds of the U.S. Special Mission when it was attacked."

The surveillance photos depict the three men, shrouded in mystery, pixelated. One seems to be holding a rocket launcher, reports ABC News.

The details of the attack are still largely unknown to the public, but sources say that once Americans landed at the consulate building Benghazi, Libya, for what they called a diplomatic mission, militants opened fire, shooting guns and rocket-propelled grenades.

Seven Libyans were injured, and four Americans died, including Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and two of the mission's guards-Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty.

On Thursday, White House spokesperson Jay Carney claimed that it has been, "the focus of the President and his teams to both investigate...what happened in Benghazi and why, to take action to ensure it doesn't happen again, to investigate the act itself and to bring to justice those responsible."

They considered possible suspects that were members of Al-Qaeda, and Islamist militant group Ansar al-Sharia, whose trucks were seen at the consulate the night of the attack.

But none of the clues thus far have reaped any tangible evidence, nor led to any conclusions, as U.S. officials have not taken any suspects into custody more than seven months post-attack.

But they hope that these new photos of the three men, whose identities currently remain unknown, will shed new light on the attacks.

"These individuals may be able to provide information to help in the investigation," Carney said.
