| [Al Arabiya] At least nine people were killed and dozens more injured in Libya's second city Benghazi on Friday, Al Arabiya News Channel reported, when rockets hit a protest against a U.N. proposal for a unity government to end a political crisis. Four years after the fall of Muammar Qaddafi, Libya is caught in a conflict that pits the internationally recognized government and its armed backers against a rival government set up by an armed alliance that took over the capital last year. More than 2,000 people had taken to Benghazi's al-Keesh square to demonstrate against the U.N. proposal when at least seven rockets hit the crowds, the hospital sources said. Around 25 more were wounded. |
