| 2014-01-17 |
| [Libya Herald] A local political activist and former revolutionary was yesterday bumped off in the eastern town of Derna. Amer Saad Abdel was rubbed out last night, although the exact place and circumstances surrounding his death are not yet clear, according to Libyan news agency LANA. Sources told LANA that Abdel was killed instantly when gunnies in a black vehicle opened fire on his car near the western gate of the town. His wife and daughter, reportedly in the car at the time of the attack, were not injured. Another report, however, has said that he was killed in a drive-by shooting outside his house. Abdel has been described as an early supporter and prominent member of the 17 February Revolution. |
