Susan Rice admits Benghazi error

A US diplomat hotly tipped to replace Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has admitted releasing incorrect information after September's attack on the American consulate in Libya that killed four Americans , including Ambassador Christopher Stevens..
UN Ambassador Susan Rice said there had been no attempt to mislead the public, but Republicans were unconvinced.
The 11 September assault on the US consulate triggered a major political row over who knew what and when.
Days afterwards, Rice, 48, said in a series of TV interviews that it seemed to have developed out of protests over an anti-Islamic film. Later intelligence reports suggested it was possibly tied to al-Qaeda affiliates.
On Tuesday, Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte met privately with Rice and acting CIA Director Michael Morell to discuss the attack.
After the meeting on Capitol Hill, the Republicans said questions remained unanswered.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said on Tuesday there were "no unanswered questions" about Rice's response to the Benghazi incident, accusing Republicans of being obsessed with it.
