Bombing, clashes leave 6 people dead in NW Libya
2016-04-14
[Iran Press TV] A total of six people have bit the dust in a bombing as well as festivities between security forces and snuffies in Libya’s northwest.

Aziz Issa, head of the media office at Misrata's central hospital, said a boom-mobile went off at a checkpoint, about 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the Libyan port city.

The bombing left a member of the security forces in Libya dead and four others maimed, he added.

an unnamed security source said snuffies raided a military camp early on Wednesday near the town of Bani Walid, southeast of Misrata, and seized weapons and ammunition.

Two members of the security forces bit the dust in the festivities along with three camp workers who had been beheaded, according to an unidentified official from Bani Walid's town council.
