In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Reps. Darrell Issa and Jason Chaffetz offer evidence that the diplomatic mission in Libya made repeated requests for more security resources in the six months leading up to fatal Benghazi attack in September.

Reports The New York Times:

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, leaders of the committee listed more than a dozen episodes, several of them violent, in the past six months that they said formed the basis for repeated requests by the diplomatic mission in Libya for more security resources.

Representatives Darrell Issa of California, the committee’s chairman, and Jason Chaffetz of Utah, chairman of the subcommittee on foreign operations, said in the letter that unnamed officials had told them of the requests. They asked for details and a briefing before a hearing that they have scheduled for Oct. 10.
