Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Martin Dempsey will testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday regarding the September 2012 attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The attack resulted in the deaths of four Americans, and has been a source of pressure from the Republican Party on the Obama administration regarding security. Then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified on the matter in January. It could be Panetta’s last time to give testimony before the Senate, as he will soon leave his post.
