| Car Bomb Explodes in Libya's Benghazi |
| 2013-07-30 |
| [An Nahar] A colonel in the Libyan navy was maimed on Monday by a boom-mobileing in central Benghazi, a security front man told Agence La Belle France Presse, calling the blast an "attempted liquidation". "The kaboom was caused by a device attached to the car," Mohammed Hijazi said after reports of a white pickup truck exploding in the city center and bursting into flames. "It was an attempted liquidation," Hijazi said, adding that the officer was maimed in the blast. Witnesses reported that the kaboom was not large, and pictures posted on Internet social networks showed a minimal amount of damage around the vehicle. Benghazi in eastern Libya was the cradle of the 2011 revolution that ousted the regime of Muammar Qadaffy ... who had more funny outfits than Louis XIV... On Sunday, two kabooms outside the courthouse in Benghazi maimed 43 people, according to the latest health ministry toll. The city last week also saw two army officers and a political activist killed. |
