The State Department failed to respond to intelligence warnings about deteriorating security in Benghazi, Libya, before the deadly 2012 attack on the U.S. mission, according to a report by the Senate intelligence panel.
The committee’s 58-page report also faults the Central Intelligence Agency and other intelligence officials for not conducting more thorough analysis of social media that it said “could have flagged potential security threats” before the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks on the mission and a secret CIA annex that killed four Americans, including ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens.
