[Libya Herald] Two US citizens incarceratedDrop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! by Benghazi Special Forces at the city's university campus yesterday have been released. The Foreign Ministry identified the two Americans as Jerry Lee and Joseph Romeld, who is of Cameroonian origin, according to Libyan news agency LANA. Both are players for Benghazi's Al-Hilal basketball club. The Commander of Saiqa Special Forces in Benghazi, Wanis Abu Khamada, told the Libya Herald that both Romeld and Lee were apprehended during routine security checks at Benghazi University because they were not registered students. They were held until their identity could be properly established, he added. The two men were released last night in the presence of representatives from the Foreign Ministry and the Al-Hilal club. |

| #1 Considering who Ghadaffi had hired on as fighters, who is trying to run things in Benghazi (hint: it's no tthe Libyan government,) and the antics going on in Mali, Nigeria and elsewhere south of Libya, it's understandable, though not laudatory. |
