Libyan gunmen seized 150 Egyptian trucks and their drivers and are holding them near Ajdabiya, reportedly in protest against Egypt’s imposition of a life sentence on a Libyan smuggler. About 40 masked gunmen gathered outside the Prime Minister’s office yesterday. On March 3, a special forces officer was murdered in Benghazi and a Derna security official survived an attack by gunmen. At least 26 security force members were killed in Benghazi last month. Seven bodies were found in a mass grave in Tawergha.
