SECRETARY of State Hillary Clinton gave an emotional defence of her handling of the September 11 attack on the US mission in the Libyan city of Benghazi, an event that threatens to stain her legacy and any presidential hopes she may still harbour.
By turns emotional and feisty, Mrs Clinton told US lawmakers yesterday she took responsibility for the incident in which US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed, but also defended herself.
She interrupted one senator to contradict him and stressed she did not see requests for additional security to protect the Benghazi mission.
