A Libyan intelligence officer was killed and another officer was wounded yesterday when their car exploded in Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city, a security spokesman said.
A bomb planted in the car, which one of them owned, was remotely detonated when the two got into it in a busy shopping district in Benghazi, supreme security committee spokesman Abdel Moneim al-Hurr said.
The Libyan government is struggling to control a myriad of armed individuals and militias that gained power during an armed conflict that ousted Muammar Gadafy last year. Benghazi has been hit by several bombings and attacks this year on international convoys and organisations. – (Reuters)
