| 2013-12-23 |
| Libya's government on Sunday declared three days of national mourning after the country's first suicide bombing since the collapse of the Gadhafi regime more than two years ago. At least 13 people were killed in the attack on a checkpoint leading to the eastern gates of Benghazi early Sunday. Most of those killed were soldiers and members of the security forces. At least two others were still missing in the aftermath of the powerful blast. A Libyan security official said that a suicide bomber rammed his vehicle into the Barsis checkpoint, about 30 miles east of Benghazi, killing and injuring security forces and others who were in the area. |
