US prepares to strike Libyan militia suspected in Benghazi attack
The US military and intelligence agencies are preparing to capture and kill militants involved in the attack on the US consulate in Libya, despite the Libyan governments demand that no foreigners will fight on their countrys land.
The top-secret Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is currently gathering information on the attack that killed a US ambassador and three other Americans, planning to launch drone strikes or raids against the suspects, the New York Times reportes.
While President Barack Obama has not yet ordered strikes on suspects, the JSOC is preparing what senior military officials call target packages in the case that he does make the order.

Make no mistake, justice will be done, the president said last month, making a promise to take action against the consulates attackers.
The dossiers come at a time when the Obama administration has faced criticism for its failure to accurately describe the cause of the attack. While the White House claimed the killings were a violent response to an anti-Muslim YouTube video, the attack was later determined to have been a terrorist attack planned for the Sept. 11 anniversary. The administration has also been condemned for providing inadequate security at a site that already had fears of rising terrorism.
But as the US contemplates administering drone strikes and raids, it may harm relations with Libya.
