White House releases Benghazi emails
The White House has released 99 pages of emails related to the attack on the US diplomatic mission in the Libyan city of Benghazi on 11 September 2012.
The correspondence shows conversations members of the Obama administration had when preparing to brief the media.

The assault by armed men left four Americans dead, including the US ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens.

Republicans have alleged that the White House sought to play down terrorism ahead of the presidential election.

The Obama administration released the emails on Wednesday in an attempt quell criticism of its handling of the crisis.

Until now, the White House had declined to make the documents public, instead letting congressional investigators review them without making copies.
