U.S. Congress Holds Hearing on Libya Attack


Diplomatic security for the US mission in Benghazi was "a struggle" and security teams in Libya were drawn down ahead of last month's fatal attack, the former head of a US security team in Libya has told lawmakers. "The security in Benghazi was a struggle and remained a struggle throughout my time there," Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Wood told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on Wednesday. The hearing was Congress' first on the September assault that killed US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan reports from Washington.
