The State Department was blasted for having inadequate security at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, during an attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, National Public radio reports.
The report by the Accountability and Review Board, released Tuesday night, criticized the State Department for relying heavily on Libyan militias for protection and ignoring calls for more security, NPR wrote.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton urged the panel to investigate security at the consulate and make recommendations for preventing another attack.
NPR reported that the U.S. is sending hundreds of additional Marine guards to high-threat areas overseas.
