Four people have been arrested in connection with the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that left U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans dead, the president of the parliament's top aide said Friday.
Those arrested were not directly tied to the attacks that resulted in the deaths, Monem Elyasser, the chief aide to Prime Minister Mustafa Abushagur, told CNN by telephone.
The announcement came as the United States is struggling to determine whether a militant group planned the attack that killed the four Americans.
Elyasser did not release the identities of the suspects nor did he detail the allegations against the four people in custody.
