Hillary Rodham Clinton U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham as she pounds her fist as she testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. Newly revealed testimony from top military commanders involved in the U.S. response to the Benghazi attacks suggests that the perpetrators of a second, dawn attack on a CIA complex probably were different from those who penetrated the U.S. diplomatic mission the evening before and set it ablaze, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and another American. The second attack, which killed two security contractors, showed clear military training, retired Gen. Carter Ham told Congress in closed-door testimony

Two of the four U.S. deaths in the Benghazi attack might have been prevented if military leaders knew more about the intensity of the sporadic gunfire directed at the CIA facility where Americans had taken refuge and they had pressed to get a rescue team there faster. In closed-door, congressional testimony, retired Gen. Carter Ham and other top military commanders described the chaotic night of Sept. 11, 2012, in which they thought Americans were safe, not facing sometimes sustained gunfire throughout the night, and were focused on a potential hostage situation when, in fact, Ambassador Chris Stevens was already dead
