The retired general inspected the office earlier this year as head of the Central Intelligence Agency. The attack resulted in the deaths of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. Two were security officers working for the CIA.

On Friday, General Petraeus spoke to members of Congress as the former director of the agency. He resigned last week after admitting to a relationship with a woman other than his wife. The affair with Paula Broadwell was uncovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI was investigating threatening e-mails sent to a Florida woman, Jill Kelley. Officials found that Paula Broadwell sent the e-mails. Further research uncovered the relationship between her and General Petraeus.

The general had resigned from the military before joining the CIA. It was during his leadership of the agency that the affair started. It ended a few months ago.

Paula Broadwell first met General Petraeus when he spoke at Harvard University in 2006. She decided to write a book about him as part of her studies.

This week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta expressed sadness about the events involving General Petraeus.美国立法者本周就美国驻利比亚班加西领事馆受袭事件审问戴维∙彼得雷乌斯。今年年初，这位退休将军曾以中央情报局局长的身份视查该领事馆。克里斯托弗∙斯蒂文斯大使和其他三名美国人在袭击中丧生。其中两位是效力于中央情报局的保安人员。

周五，彼得雷乌斯将军以前局长的身份对国会成员发表讲话。在承认与一个女人的婚外情后，他于上周辞职。联邦调查局揭露了他与宝拉∙布罗德维尔的婚外恋。联邦调查局当时在调查发给佛罗里达州吉尔∙凯莉女士的威胁性电邮。官方查明宝拉∙布罗德维尔发送了这些电邮。进一步的调查披露了她与彼得雷乌斯将军的关系。

加入中央情报局之前，这位将军已从军队辞职。正是在他领导情报局期间开始了这段婚外恋。两人的关系于几个月前结束。
宝拉∙布罗德维尔2006年初次邂逅彼得雷乌斯将军，当时他在哈佛大学发表讲话。她决定写一本关于他的书，作为研究的一部分内容。
本周，国防部长里昂∙皮奈塔就彼得雷乌斯将军事件表达了惋惜之情。
