Car bomb explodes in Tripoli, first since Qadhafi fall
[Dawn] A car boom went kaboom!near the offices of the military police in Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of thich is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... early on Saturday, a senior security source said, the first such attack in the Libyan capital since the start of a revolt that toppled the regime of Muammar Qadaffy ...Custodian of Wheelus AFB for 42 long years until he was ejected from the gene pool by his indignant citizens... last year. The source said the blast slightly maimed a Tunisian national, but it could not say who might have been behind it. A Rooters witness said police had cordoned off the area around the blast's location. Several violent incidents have rocked Libya in recent days but these have been mostly confined to the eastern city of Benghazi. Also in Benghazi, seven Iranian relief workers were kidnapped on Tuesday by an gang just as they started an official mission as guests of the Libyan Red Islamic Thingy Association, which is still seeking to get them released.
