Kerry agrees to testify before U.S. House committee on Benghazi -letter
Secretary of State John Kerry has agreed to testify before the House Oversight Committee on its investigation into the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, according to a State Department letter obtained by Reuters.
  
Kerry was subpoenaed to testify on May 29, but the letter said prior commitments will prevent his appearance. Kerry has offered two other possible dates - June 12 or June 20 - for his testimony, and has asked the committee to withdraw its subpoena, the letter said.

This comes as the United States and European allies expressed deep concern with violence in Libya and warned that the country  stood "at a crossroads" between pursuing a political transition or facing chaos, fragmentation, violence and terrorism.
  
"The European Union, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States, deeply concerned by the repeated acts of violence, call on all sides to refrain from the use of force and to address differences by political means," they said in a joint statement.
  
The statement also offered Western support for an inclusive reconciliation process, with the help of the United Nations, warning that "persistent divisions amongst Libyans will gravely challenge the ability of the international community to assist."
