At least five soldiers were killed and 11 people wounded during heavy fighting between Ansar al Sharia and the Saiqa Special Forces in Benghazi last night after the militants raided a security headquarters and tried to recover a vehicle packed with explosives. A convoy of 20 Ansar al Sharia technicals had reportedly moved into the city following clashes with security forces earlier in the night. Four masked men kidnapped a lawyer from the Benghazi prosecutor’s office yesterday. A car blew up in Tripoli when a grenade carried by the driver exploded.
