May have been captured by forces loyal to the current Libyan government.

The arrest is said to -- happen in the midst of years fighting as Ibrahim attempted to flee in the last Qaddafi stronghold.

A town in the interior of Libya -- is Bani Walid.

But the government has offered no proof of the arrest in an online posting -- -- purporting to be Ibrahim denies that he is even in the country.

But the fact that Libyans are still fighting each other a year after the overthrow of Qaddafi is more evidence of how shaky the country remains.

And in that climate of chaos the militias which killed -- ambassador and three others are thriving.

Continuing now our problem -- dot -- investigate -- exactly how and why our people died.

We speak now to -- sister of one of the fallen heroes here's crack.

I got a phone call from his remains.

And it's she didn't want to alarm name but he.

Umbrella.

A lot of expect -- forces.

Go this road.

The government of the United States in America the 42 year old soldier of fortune had seventeen years military experience serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2003 Glenn was positioned -- rooftop sniper when US commandos rescued are captured GI Jessica Lynch.

Katie Quigley is -- sister in Libya.

He went there to collect.

Weapons that were left over from the war in any small country when something happens you know.

These guys will be called in for back up.

It wasn't his job to guard to the ambassador or at the consulate but he answered the call.

Glenn worked for the blue mountain group a little known British security firm that according to State Department testimony was hired based on -- tendency.

Katie told may have Glenn a civilian nevertheless gave his life for his country.

He was not there working for the consulate or four ambassador Stevens.

Was it just the fact that Stephens came in from Tripoli.

And there wasn't enough security.

That -- -- my belief is it was just the fact that.

They were nearby and anybody and everybody who is nearby it was called in for support.

According to various sources there were just five US agents and -- local man secure in the compound when the massive attack began.

Ambassador Stevens and others were escorted to a barricaded building in the compound.

Unable to penetrate and frustrated intruders.

We're diesel fuel igniting -- -- fire and trapped inside and somehow separated from his colleagues ambassador Stevens died of smoke inhalation.

What heroically land and another former navy seal Tiger Woods managed to evacuate survivors.

Fighting their way to a nearby safe house known as the Amex.

He was on the range and she remained until everybody was again rescued from a safe -- on and so you know.

Because -- -- all those people are.

I just never thought.

-- seventeen years he always came back.

Lend our -- remains were received by President Obama and Secretary Clinton and given full military honors.

Now as the scandal known -- been -- -- is debated.

-- sister Katie has deep regret that the death of her brother and his brave colleagues has been politicized.

Glenn did this for seventeen years he worked under Democrats he worked under Republican -- and if it -- up to me I would rather they.

Use their energy finding people who did this are you resentful or -- the family members resentful that there wasn't more security there that.

Don't quite possibly your brother would still be alive today if there were all I know is that and he's a hero and he saved people -- I can't think about what could have then.

And I'm just gonna hold on -- 42.

Amazing years.

Politics aside touching tributes have been paid the adventurous warrior with the infectious smile but the lives of his friends ahead of -- own.

To his -- Thomas and Jack quickly when -- always be their cool uncle now a national hero what do you remember about.

A hero for sure Craig you know it's amazing and very impressive -- -- this sister fuses to politicize this tragedy were to blame anyone but the killers.

And bring them to justice and -- assure that our embassies.

Throughout the world are safe so that this doesn't happen again are so tell me about the foundation she's establish and her brother glands on.
