FBI director in Libya to discuss Benghazi

FBI Director Robert Mueller met with Libyan officials in Tripoli on Thursday for discussions about last year's deadly terror attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, an agency official said.

Another law enforcement official said Mueller met with the prime minister, justice minister, intelligence chief and others.

That official said the investigation of the September 11 assault has made "significant progress" and charges were expected although no timetable for action was given.

"We're still focusing on more than a dozen people," the second official said.

Mueller did not visit Benghazi and has since left the country.

The trip had been planned for some time and was to have included discussion of other issues besides the Benghazi attack, which killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Details of other topics were not disclosed.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify on the Benghazi attack before House and Senate committees next week.
