| 2013-10-20 |
| [Libya Herald] A member of the Zawia Martyrs Brigade based in Sirte was maimed today when a bomb blew up under his car in the town's Buhadi area. According to Colonel Salah Buhulaiga, the commander of the brigade, Yusuf Lahsuni is in "an unstable" condition in hospital. Buhulaiga's was himself the long distance victim of an attack earlier this week when a bomb was thrown at his home in Benghazi. It is not known if that incident and today's attack are linked to the death in Sirte a week ago of a member of the Petroleum Facilities Guard under the command of Ibrahim Jadhran or to the fast developing conflict in Benghazi between local tribes and Islamists. |
