Well, that was fast.
I guess this is what happens when the U.S. is well-liked in a North African Islamic country. Mitt Romney can blab about how he thinks President Obama is weak on foreign policy all he wants, but this sure looks like strength to me.
From the Libya Herald:
Ansar Al-Sharia to be disbanded “by force if necessary” as first arrests made in connection with US Ambassador killing
Tripoli, 14 September:
It is being reported that four men have been arrested in Benghazi in connection with the murder of US ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Amercan diplomatic staff in the city on Tuesday night. All are reported to be members of the extremist militia Ansar Al-Sharia led by Ismail Salabi.

Prime Minister-elect Mustafa Abushagour also told CNN on Thursday evening that a suspect had been arrested and that others were being sought. “Three or four are currently being pursued,” he said.
A source close to Abushagour has since told the Libya Herald that “some people” are now under arrest.

Details are still sketchy, but it sure looks like the new, democratically-elected govt. of Libya is moving fast on this. President Obama promised that we would work with our Libyan friends and that justice would be served - it sure looks like his approach is the right one, no matter how much Mitt Romney runs his mouth.
