Clinton Cautions ‘It Will Take Time’ To Get Answers on Benghazi Massacre

Secretary of State vows the Accountability Review Board will keep investigating

Will not rest till we track Benghazi attackers: Hillary Clinton (The Hindu Business Line)

WASHINGTON, OCT 4: US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has vowed that the US would not rest until it probes the attack on its consulate in Benghazi and tracks down those who killed “our people”, but cautioned against jumping to any conclusion.

Four Americans including the US Ambassador to Libya were killed when the US Consulate in Benghazi was attacked by a violent mob over an anti-Islam film.

Initial reports said that it was a spontaneous protest, but subsequent investigation has led the US to declare it as a terrorist attack by people having some kind of links with al-Qaeda in the region.

“We are committed to a process that is as transparent as possible while balancing the needs of the investigation under way. It will take time before we have a complete understanding of what actually did happen,” Clinton told reporters during a joint press availability with the Kazakh Foreign Minister Yerlan Idrisov.

“There are continuing questions about what exactly happened in Benghazi on that night three weeks ago, and we will not rest until we answer those questions and until we track down the terrorists who killed our people,” she said.

Clinton said she has asked the Accountability Review Board, which she established after the Benghazi incident, to move as quickly as possible without sacrificing diligence and accuracy.
