Benghazi Assault Probe Failed to Hold Leaders Accountable for Security Failures: Official

Benghazi Assault Probe Failed to Hold Leaders Accountable for Security Failures: Official

A Libyan man checks the burned-out interior of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 13, 2012. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday heard testimony on the attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans (AP Photo/Mohammad Hannon). A State Department security specialist on Wednesday faulted the  U.S. government's investigation into the Sept. 11 attacks on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, for not doing a poor job in holding top officials accountable for the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans, the Washington Post reported.
Eric Nordstrom, who oversaw regional security for U.S. diplomatic outposts at the time of the incident, said it was "inexplicable" that the State Department in its assessment of the terrorist attack did not "review the decisions of the (undersecretary) for management and other senior leaders," according to his prepared statement for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
