| 2018-01-25 |
| [Al Jazeera] At least 33 people have been killed in a double boom-mobileing in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi, according to officials. Tuesday's first bomb went off outside Salmani neighbourhood's Bait Radwan mosque, frequented by the fighters of Brigade 210 from eastern Libyan security forces, the Libya Observer reported. The second kaboom occurred minutes later close to the first blast site after security and health officials arrived. Ahmed al-Fituri, chief of a special investigation unit attached to the general command of east Libyan security forces, was killed in the first kaboom, Libya Observer cited military sources as saying. It was not immediately clear who was responsible. The twin kabooms shattered the relative calm that had recently returned to the country's second city, scene of more than three years of warfare from 2014 until late last year. |
