A 22-year prison term isn’t enough for a terrorist convicted for his role in the deadly attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, a decade ago, a federal appeals court ruled.
The Sept. 11, 2012, assault on the U.S. intelligence and diplomatic facilities led to the deaths of foreign service officer Sean Patrick Smith, security officers Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty, and Ambassador Christopher Stevens. This was the first time in 40 years that a sitting U.S. ambassador had been killed in the line of duty.
