US and Libyan forces captured Saifallah Benahssine, the leader of Tunisia’s Islamist militant group Ansar Al-Shariah, on Monday. Benahssine was apparently captured in the Libyan city of Misrata, Tunisia's state news agency TAP said. Having previously fought in Afghanistan, Benahssine, also known as Abu Iyadh, had declared loyalty to al-Qaeda and was accused of inciting an attack on the US embassy in Tunisia a year ago when the US ambassador and three other Americans were killed. Car bombs and assassinations of army and police officers are common in Libya and Benghazi in particular, where troops have clashed regularly with militants from the hardline Ansar al-Shariah.
