BENGHAZI: Four Libyan protesters were killed and 20 wounded in Benghazi when gunfire erupted at a demonstration outside a militia base in the eastern city, sources said yesterday.
“Angry citizens, some of whom were armed, demonstrated around the headquarters of the February 17 Martyrs Brigade,” an Islamist militia accused by residents of being involved in attacks across Benghazi, a security official said. A gunfight broke out between the two sides late on Friday and continued until early yesterday.
A security source said all the casualties were protesters.
