A car bomb at the funeral of a Benghazi intelligence official yesterday killed one person and injured six others; it is thought to be the first time a car bomb has targeted a terror victim’s funeral in Libya, although the tactic is common in Iraq. Ansar al Sharia criticized the GNC’s recent declaration that sharia is the “only source for legislation in Libya” and “above the constitution”; the al Qaeda-linked group called the statement a “manouevre” designed to confuse sharia supporters and appease a public demanding its imposition. Yemen released three Libyan prisoners, Fuad Masaud Ali Wadi, Essam Ali Rahil Salem, and Riyadh Mahmoud Andel-Jalil Assabri, to Libya.
