| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Two Libyan military officers were killed and three soldiers injured when unknown assailants forced their way into a military camp in the desert south, an army front man said on Saturday. The early morning attack happened at the Tamahind base, which was previously a storage place for army equipment under ousted dictator Muammar Qadaffy ... who had more funny outfits than Louis XIV... and is near the desert town of Sabha, some 800 km (500 miles) south of the capital 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... Sabha residents contacted by phone said the attackers came in eight cars before fleeing. "They came in by cars, shooting. Two officers were killed and three others were maimed," Ali al-Sheikhli, front man for the army chief of staff, said. "An investigation is under way." General Ramadan al-Barasi, military governor for the south, was not in the camp during the attack but his assistant Musaal-Awami was among the casualties, Sheikhli said. |
