報告：美駐班加西使團未獲得足夠保安

An independent U.S. panel investigating the September 11 attack in Libya that resulted in the deaths of four Americans has concluded that security at the Benghazi mission was "grossly inadequate."

The Accountability Review Board says senior-level "systematic failures and management deficiencies" within two State Department bureaus led to a security posture that was inadequate to deal with the attack at the site.

In a report released late Tuesday, the board also said the number of diplomatic security staff members in Benghazi on the day of the attack was "inadequate," in spite of repeated requests from diplomats in Libya for additional staffing.

The board made a number of recommendations, including developing minimum security standards for temporary facilities in high-risk areas.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that she accepted the panel's findings. In a letter to U.S. lawmakers, Clinton said she was working to improve security at diplomatic facilities.

The four Americans killed in the attack included ambassador Christopher Stephens, in what was the first murder of a U.S. ambassador since 1988.一個調查9月11日利比亞攻擊事件的獨立小組作出的調查結論是，由於美國駐班加西領事館獲得的安全保障“極為不足”,在那起攻擊事件中，造成4名美國人喪生。

問責審查委員會説，美國國務院中兩個部門的高層“系統性的疏失與管理的缺失”導致了無法應對班加西領事館遭攻擊的保安態勢。

該委員會在星期二晚間發佈的報告中還説，儘管駐利比亞外交官不斷提出增加保安人員的要求，但在攻擊發生的當天，在班加西的外交保安人員的人數仍然不足。

報告提出一些建議，其中包括為在高風險地區的臨時設施制定最低保安標準。

美國國務卿克林頓星期二表示接受調查小組的報告。克林頓在一封給美國議員的信中説，她正在努力改善外交設施的保安。

4名美國人在班加西的襲擊中喪生，其中包括克里斯多佛.史蒂文森大使。這是自1988年以來的首起謀殺美國大使事件。
