[Libya Observer] One gunman was killed and two others were maimed in armed fighting among fuel smuggling gangs in Garyat town - 350 km to Tripoli...a confusing city, one end of which 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... 's south. Local media reported that the festivities broke out late on Saturday between smugglers who were securing a fuel tank and others who wanted to take the smuggled fuel tank for themselves. "An gang was securing the smuggled fuel but the other gang attacked them in an attempt to steal the fuel. They were four people in total." Sources told local media. They added that the securing smugglers opened fire on the attackers killing one and injuring two others, pointing out that the body and injuries were sent to Garayt hospital. "The exact spot was 150 km away from Mizdah. It is an area near Garyat." The sources indicated. Posted by: Fred 2018-04-30 |
