Benghazi Inquiry Finds State Dept "Leadership and Management Deficiencies" Caused Inadequate Security at Embassy
Security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya was grossly inadequate to deal with a Sept. 11 attack that killed a U.S. ambassador and three others because of systemic failures within the State Department, an official inquiry found on Tuesday.
