Benghazi attacks report criticizes Clinton but does not cite wrongdoing
June 28, 2016 20:12
A long-awaited report on the 2012 Benghazi terror attacks chastises Hillary Clinton for letting four Americans die on her watch-- but apparently does not cite her for any wrongdoing.
Early reports of parts of the 800-page probe say it criticizes Clinton for not knowing the risks of a terror attack on an American diplomatic compound.
But the report does not appear to place the blame squarely on Clinton, or any other individual, instead calling the attack a result of bureaucratic bungling.
The attack, by Islamic militants, led to deaths of US Ambassador J Christopher Stevens, US Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith and CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Tyrone S Woods.
Clinton was Secretary of State at the time, and has spent the four years since fielding fierce criticism for security lapses that led to the attacks.
The Republican-led committee spent two years investigating the attacks for the Tuesday report.
