| RPG Explodes near Tunisia Consulate in Libya's Benghazi |
| 2014-02-23 |
[An Nahar] A rocket-propelled grenade went kaboom!Saturday near the Tunisian consulate in the restive eastern Libyan city of Benghazi without causing any casualties or damage. An Agence La Belle France Presse photographer on the scene said the kaboom left a crater in the ground in front of the diplomatic mission, and caused minor damage to its outer wall. A source at the consulate told AFP the kaboom did not harm anyone, and a police officer at the site said the blast was caused by a rocket-propelled grenade. Benghazi, cradle of the 2011 armed uprising that toppled veteran Libyan dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...who single-handedly turned a moderately prosperous kingdom into a dictator's fantasyland and was then murdered by his indignant subjects 42 years later... , has seen near-daily attacks on security and other targets in recent months as the weak central government has tried to rein in former rebel brigades turned militias. |
