President Obama said the United States hopes to capture the perpetrators of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. 

“But we’re going to have to obviously cooperate with the Libyan government and I have confidence that we will stay on this relentlessly because Chris Stevens, he’s somebody who actually advised me and Secretary Clinton during the original Libyan uprising,” Obama told Telemundo in an interview. “He was somebody who Libyans recognized as being on the side of the people. And we’re going to get help.”
