[Libya Herald] A double suicide kaboom at a military checkpoint near Benghazi port appears to have misfired with both bombers dying without inflicting any casualtiesThe attackers were in a car that approached the army position at Suq Al-Hout. It seems that the marines manning the barrier became suspicious and opened fire when the vehicle refused to halt.. One occupant leapt out and went
kaboom!. The other died in the vehicle.
A marine insisted afterwards that reports that two other people had been injured were wrong.
A naval officer told the Libya Herald: "We think that this attack was designed to blow a path to allow the escape of Ansar al-Sharia
...a Salafist militia which claims it is not part of al-Qaeda, even though it works about the same and for the same ends. There are groups of the same name in Libyaand Yemen, with the Libyan versions currently most active. Tunisia's Shabaab al-Tawhid started out an Ansar al-Sharia and changed its name in early 2014. It still uses the old name now and then, probably because the stationery's not all used up and the web site hasn't expired yet...
