Some 23 armed militants from Ansar al Sharia stormed into the lab at the Benghazi hospital on the pretext that out of date materials were on the premises; the lab was closed for three hours as a result. Gunmen also stormed into a Tripoli hospital and killed two patients. The air force targeted a six-truck convoy of fuel smugglers near Ghadames on the Algerian-Tunisian border, killing 13 people, only two of whom were Libyans.
