BEIJING, Dec. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- Leaders from the Benghazi Accountability Review Board have briefed journalists on its probe into the US mission in Benghazi, Libya.

The inquiry found that security at the US mission was grossly inadequate to deal with a September 11th attack that killed the US ambassador and three others, because of failures within the State Department.

In a scathing assessment, the review cited "leadership and management" deficiencies at two department offices, poor coordination among officials and "real confusion" in Washington.

However, the inquiry did not find Secretary of State, responsible for security lapses even as they outlined widespread failings within her department.
