Benghazi is a city in Libya that gained international attention due to a tragic event on September 11, 2012. On that day, an attack occurred at the U.S. diplomatic mission and a nearby CIA annex, resulting in the deaths of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. The incident raised significant concerns about security and U.S. foreign policy in the region. The attack was part of a larger wave of unrest in the Middle East, often linked to protests against an anti-Islam video. In the aftermath, there were numerous investigations and debates in the U.S. Congress regarding the government's response and preparedness for such threats.
