| [Iraq Sun] Turkey has temporarily pulled its diplomatic staff out of the Libyan city of Benghazi and urged its nationals to leave the east of the country amid mounting security concerns, the Turkish foreign ministry said on Saturday. Turkey is one of the last countries to maintain a diplomatic presence in Benghazi, where the U.S. ambassador was killed during an attack by Islamist forces of Evil on the American diplomatic mission in the port city in 2012. The foreign ministry said its diplomats would continue to work from Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... while the Benghazi mission was closed. The move comes after a huge kaboom likely caused by a jacket wallah at an army checkpoint in Barsis, 50 km (30 miles) east of Benghazi killed the attacker and maimed six others late on Wednesday. |
