The Libyan government has condemned a clandestine American operation to capture a key suspect in the attack on a US diplomatic building in Benghazi in 2012, which left US ambassador Chris Stevens and three others dead.
Ahmed Abu Khattala was seized in the operation on June 15, and has been charged in a US federal court with killing a person in the course of an attack on a federal facility, providing material support to terrorists, and a firearms count.
"The Libyan government condemns this regrettable infringement on Libya's sovereignty," Libyan foreign ministry spokesperson Saeed Alaswad said on Wednesday.
Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm John Kirby said there were "no civilian casualties" during the operation to seize Khattala.
"All US personnel involved in the operation have safely departed Libya," he added.
