| [Pak Daily Times] An American teacher was bumped off in Libya as he took his morning jog on Thursday, a week before he was to return home for holidays, officials and the school said. Ronnie Smith, a 33-year-old from Texas, had been running in the central Al-Fwihet neighbourhood of the eastern city of Benghazi when he was shot, security services front man Ibrahim al-Sharaa said. No one has yet grabbed credit for the killing, which comes 15 months after the US ambassador and three other Americans were killed in an attack on the US consulate in Libya's second city. International School Benghazi director Adel al-Mansuri said Smith, who was married and the father of a two-year-old boy, had joined the faculty as a chemistry teacher late last year. |
