Benghazi bloodshed escalates
2014-05-13
[MAGHAREBIA] Four Libyan soldiers were slain Sunday (May 11th) in the latest round of violence against security forces, widely blamed on Islamist militias.

The commanding officer of the 204th Tank Brigade, Salah al-Shaafi, was killed when assailants opened fire on his vehicle in Benghazi's al-Hadek neighbourhood as he drove his son to school.

Two other special operations troops were shot on Sunday in the al-Salam neighbourhood. The body of a fourth, Osama Salah Salama, was taken to al-Jalaa Hospital shortly after, according to Libya Herald.

#3  Lotta salams thereabouts.

As y'all prophesied, a tsunami
Of violence defied the salaamy
Intentions of most,
As the pious riposte
Was to render their side more Islamy.
