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.

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.
