BENGHAZI, Libya: At least two people were killed and seven wounded in a nighttime car bomb attack targeting a security chief in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, a news agency and medical sources said Sunday.
LANA news agency, based in the country’s east, said a vehicle exploded at around 2:00 am (0000 GMT) in a western suburb of Benghazi as a convoy of cars drove up carrying the chief of a forensic police unit.
The two dead were in the convoy, it said, while civilians were among the wounded.
A military source said the official, Hamada al-Ramli, escaped unhurt.
“We have received seven wounded in the explosion, some in serious condition,” Khalil Goueder, a spokesman for the Benghazi Medical Centre, told AFP.
