U.S. Said to Be Preparing Potential Targets Tied to Libya Attack

The American military’s top-secret Joint Special Operations Command is preparing detailed information that could be used to kill or capture some of the militants suspected in the attack last month in Libya....

"Any decision to conduct kill-or-capture missions in Libya would almost certainly be made by Mr. Obama, after holding several classified meetings headed by John O. Brennan, the president’s top counterterrorism adviser, and involving the administration’s top national security deputies. American officials are also working closely with Libyan authorities who have been cooperating in the F.B.I.’s investigation into the attacks."

"..... The C.I.A. and Defense Department declined to comment."

"American counterterrorism officials now believe that Ansar al-Shariah likely had a general attack plan for the American Mission in Benghazi “on the shelf” and when the opportunity presented itself — specifically reports of the demonstration at the United States Embassy in Cairo and the breach of the walls there — that set the attack in motion, said one American official who has read classified intelligence reports on the attack. "
