This link does support El Azizia and explains a little more information.

The record highest temperature ever measured in the U.S (134 degrees F at Death Valley, CA in July of 1913), and the hottest temperature ever recorded anywhere on the globe (136 F at Al' Aziziyah, Libya in September of 1922) occurred well before global warming was a buzzword, and despite the recent series of warm years, globally, these records have not seriously threatened.

Can the temperature ever exceed 136 F? In all likelihood it already has, somewhere. It would be truly amazing if the thermometer in Al' Aziziyah was placed at the exact spot on the Earth's surface that happened to have the hottest temperature ever. On that sizzling September day in 1922, the vicinity near Al Aziziyah was certainly extremely hot, but since there were few meteorological stations nearby, it's highly improbable that this particular point was indeed the hottest spot.

It appears that this record is no longer accepted.

"On 13 September 2012 the World Meteorological Organisation disqualified the record for the highest recorded temperature, exactly 90 years after it had been established at El Azizia, Libya, with a measurement of 58 C. The official highest recorded temperature is now 56.7 C (134 F), which was measured on 10 July 1913 at Greenland Ranch, Death Valley, California, USA."
