Clinton Cites New Security Steps After Benghazi Attack

In her long-awaited testimony, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says that she had moved quickly to improve the security of American diplomats after the September 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi, Libya, according to an article from the New York Times.

The attack left four Americans dead brought about a scathing review of State Department procedures, which Clinton was set to address. Appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, she suggested that she was inclined to see the attack as a terrorist act from the start, stating “The very next morning, I told the American people that heavily armed militants assaulted our compound and vowed to bring them to justice. And I stood with President Obama as he spoke of ‘an act of terror,’” according to the Times.
