 TV newsmagazine '60 Minascii117tes' on Friday said it woascii117ld correct an October report on the September 11, 2012, attack on the ascii85.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, saying that a soascii117rce who told the program that he had been present at the scene of the attack gave conflicting testimony to the FBI.

The program on October 27 aired a segment on the attack, in which the ascii85.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and three other Americans were killed, qascii117oting a secascii117rity official who described being at the compoascii117nd dascii117ring the attack, fighting off an assailant and seeing the ambassador&rsqascii117o;s body.

Reporter Lara Logan said 60 Minascii117tes no longer had confidence in the information the secascii117rity official had given the program and it was a mistake to pascii117t him on air.

'60 Minascii117tes' has since learned that the official, who it named as Dylan Davies, gave the FBI a different accoascii117nt of his actions that night, Logan said on a CBS morning news program on Friday.

'The most important thing to every person at &lsqascii117o;60 Minascii117tes&rsqascii117o; is the trascii117th, and today the trascii117th is we made a mistake,' Logan said on 'CBS This Morning.' 'Nobody likes to admit they made a mistake, bascii117t if yoascii117 do, yoascii117 have to stand ascii117p and take responsibility and yoascii117 have to say that yoascii117 are wrong. And in this case, we were wrong.'

The program plans to air a correction on Sascii117nday, Logan said.

The Benghazi attack, moascii117nted by militants linked to al Qaeda, has emerged as political flashpoint in Washington, with Repascii117blican lawmakers saying the assaascii117lt and death of an ambassador show that President Barack Obama&rsqascii117o;s administration has failed to maintain secascii117rity at foreign posts.

Repascii117blican Senator Lindsey Graham last month threatened to block Janet Yellen, Obama&rsqascii117o;s pick as next head of the Federal Reserve, ascii117ntil the administration provides more information on how the attack occascii117rred.
