Challenged by Republicans, Clinton defends her Benghazi record

Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defended her handling of the deadly 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, from Republican criticism during high-stakes testimony on Thursday and urged her interrogators in Congress to put national security ahead of politics. The front-runner in the 2016 Democratic presidential race, Clinton told a congressional committee the attacks by suspected Islamist militants that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans must not discourage U.S. action globally and said the incident already had been thoroughly investigated. "We need leadership at home to match our leadership abroad, leadership that puts national security ahead of politics and ideology," Clinton said in her only early reference to the political controversy that has dogged the panel.

A Florida musician who was shot and killed by a plainclothes police officer after his car broke down on a highway exit ramp never fired the handgun he was carrying and was running away at one point, lawyers for the dead man's family said on Thursday. Corey Jones, a 31-year-old black drummer, was waiting for a tow truck around 3 a.m. on Sunday when he was approached by Nouman Raja, who was driving an unmarked van, the lawyers told a news conference on the steps of the Palm Beach County courthouse. Police say there was a confrontation with Jones, who was carrying a recently purchased handgun, that ended with Jones being shot and killed by Raja, who was on duty investigating a burglary.

The gunman who allegedly shot and killed a New York City police officer has been charged with murder, officials said. Tyrone Howard, 30, of East Harlem, who has prior gang-related offenses, was also charged with robbery in the shooting death of Officer Randolph Holder and stealing a bike in the process, officials said. Holder and other officers were responding to reports of gunshots in East Harlem, which police sources said was connected to gang activity.
