The lawyer for a Tunisian suspect in the attack on the US Consulate in Libya says the legal team has asked that any interviews by the FBI be carried out in the presence of attorneys in a judge’s office.
The presiding judge in the case gave permission last week for the FBI to question Ali Harzi over the September 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi that resulted in the death of the US ambassador, but the suspect refused to speak with the Americans.
Anwar Oued-Ali, one of Harzi’s attorneys, said they told the judge Monday they were ready to cooperate, but any
interview has to take place with attorneys and in the judge’s chambers, rather than on police premises.
Oued-Ali said today the judge’s decision was expected tomorrow.
