The House committee hearing investigating the attack last month at the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya.,
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform meets on Wednesday as part of its investigation into the attack last month at the American diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.
As my colleagues Michael S. Schmidt and Eric Schmitt report, the House committee hearing is expected to focus on possible security lapses at the mission; potential intelligence failures in assessing a growing militant threat and whether the Obama administration underestimated the dangers posed by Al Qaeda's franchise in n orthern Africa and other extremist groups in Libya.
Among those expected to testify before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee are two senior State Department officials responsible for embassy security worldwide, a former head of security at the United States Embassy in Tripoli and the former head of an American military team assigned to provide security at the embassy.
