Al Arabiya with Agencies - 
Two police stations were bombed early Sunday in the eastern Libyan city of 
Benghazi, a security official said, the second such attack in days that caused 
damages but no casualties, AFP reported. 

“There were two new attacks today targeting al-Gwarcha and al-Uruba police 
stations, and both buildings have been lightly damaged,” the official said on 
condition of anonymity.

On Friday bomb attacks targeted Ras Obeida and al-Madina police stations in 
Libya’s second city causing extensive damage to the buildings and cars parked 
nearby.

The attacks are the latest signs of insecurity in Libya’s second city, 
birthplace of the uprising that toppled the dictator Muammar Qaddafi in 2011.

Nearly two years after his fall, rebel groups that helped to overthrow him are 
still refusing to disband and remain a more visible presence on the streets 
than the state security forces.

“We are not satisfied with the performance of the Ministry of Interior,” said 
Osama al-Sharif, Benghazi’s local council spokesman told Reuters. “And 
especially with the leadership of Benghazi’s police.”

The recent violence against diplomats, military and police includes an attack 
in September that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

This week, diplomats began to withdraw from the capital Tripoli, where security 
took a turn for the worse in late April when armed groups seized two ministries 
for about a fortnight to press demands on parliament.
