Senate Report: Attack on US Consulate in Benghazi Could Have Been Prevented

A Senate
Intelligence Committee report on the September 2012 assault on the
U.S. consulate in Benghazi blames the State Department and American
intelligence agencies for not preventing the attack, which resulted
in the deaths of four Americans.

From
The Washington Post:

A long-delayed Senate intelligence committee
report released on Wednesday spreads blame among the State
Department and intelligence agencies for not preventing an attack
at an outpost in Libya that killed four Americans,
including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

The bipartisan report lays out more than a dozen findings
regarding the Sept. 11, 2012 assault on the diplomatic compound in
the Libyan city of Benghazi. It says the State Department failed to
increase security at the compound despite warnings, and faults
intelligence agencies for not sharing information about the
existence of a secret CIA outpost at the site.
