The Libyan jihadist group Ansar al-Sharia, which is accused by Washington of the 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi that killed the ambassador and three other Americans, announced its "dissolution" in a communique published online on Saturday and quoted by AFP.
Ansar al-Sharia is affiliated with Al-Qaeda and has been blacklisted as a terrorist organization by both the U.S. and the UN.
