| 2013-03-30 |
| [Libya Herald] The secretary to Benghazi Local Council, Mahmoud Subaihi, was attacked and beaten up by gunnies yesterday, Thursday, "He was attacked while in his office", Benghazi Local Council member Sadiq Al-Zlitini, told the Libya Herald today. The young men, dressed in military uniform, had come to the Council building demanding payment for working as guards at a number of public buildings in the city and helping direct traffic. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... they are volunteers, said Zlitini, who is in charge of port and transport affairs on the council. Subaihi fled the building, but the men followed him. He got to his car but some got in as well, assaulted him and stole some of his possessions. |
