WASHINGTON (AFP) - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Thursday announced the launch of an independent probe into security at a US mission in Libya following a militant attack which killed four Americans.

"I will advise Congress... I am launching an accountability review board that will be chaired by ambassador Thomas Pickering," Clinton told reporters, ahead of a classified briefing to lawmakers about the attack.
