Senators: US gets access to Libya attack suspect

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Two senators say the Tunisian government will allow the United States access to a suspect in the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia said Friday they have been asking the Tunisian government for U.S. access to Ali Ani al Harzi.

Earlier this week, Graham wrote the Tunisian government, saying that providing access to the suspect is of the highest importance to members of Congress. He said the Tunisian response could have profound impacts on relations between the two countries.

Chambliss met last week with the FBI to emphasize the need for direct access to the suspect and any other individuals related to the Sept. 11 attack that killed four Americans.
