Appeals court says 28-year sentence is too lenient for Libyan militant convicted in Benghazi attack

A U.S. appeals court ruled that a 28-year prison sentence for Libyan militant Ahmed Abu Khatallah, convicted in the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, is too lenient and ordered resentencing. The court found the sentence insufficient for his role in the premeditated attack and transfer of the case back to the district court.
