| Bomb destroys police station in Libya's Benghazi |
| 2013-05-03 |
| [Al Ahram] A bomb destroyed a cop shoppe in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi early on Thursday but caused no casualties, a security source told AFP, in a second attack targeting the building. "An bomb was thrown at Al-Baraka cop shoppe in Benghazi, destroying what remained of the building after the kaboom that targeted it last weekend," the source said. "The kaboom caused no casualties," he added. An AFP journalist at the scene confirmed that the blast destroyed the building at around 7:00 am (0500 GMT). A wave of liquidations and bombings has swept Benghazi, the cradle of the 2011 uprising against Moamer Qadaffy, in recent months. Thursday's attack came after several weeks of relative calm in the city, where the authorities have struggled to re-establish security. Attacks in Benghazi have generally been attributed to radical Islamists, most notably last year's September 11 assault on the US consulate that killed four Americans including ambassador Chris Stevens. |

| #1 "An [sic] bomb was thrown at Al-Baraka cop shoppe in Benghazi, destroying what remained of the building after the kaboom that targeted it last weekend" I believe that's called "bouncing the rubble". or "pulling a Derbyshire"... |
