Damning footage not seen outside a courtroom puts alleged killer and conspirator Zubayar Al-Bakoush at the scene of the crime at the US embassy compound in Benghazi, Libya the day militants attacked the facility and killed four Americans. US Ambassador Chris Stevens, US security contractors Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and IT officer Sean Smith were killed in the attacks. “The government’s witness at trial had known Bakoush since he was a teenager when they were in Scouts together,” he noted. He was a commander and acted as the “tip of the spear” for the Benghazi attacks, the government said in related cases. 4 Bakoush did not enter a plea at his preliminary hearing in Washington on Friday.
