Libyan colonel gunned down
[OMANOBSERVER] Gunmen killed a Libyan army colonel in a drive-by shooting yesterday in the eastern city of Benghazi, a security source said.
"Unknown gunnies in a car with tinted windows shot and killed Colonel Mustafa al Aguili," the source said.
"The attack took place after the victim left a mosque in the Al Hadaiek neighbourhood of Benghazi, following the main Friday prayers," the source added.
On Monday a judge was also bumped off in Benghazi as he was leaving a mosque.
Benghazi has been rocked by a series of killings of soldiers and police who served under the former government.
