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.
