Libya

Colonel Ibrahim Senussi, the head of intelligence for the eastern region, was assassinated in Benghazi. Two days ago he stated on TV that Ansar al Sharia was responsible for much of the city’s violence, that 58 young men who had secretly returned from Syria were planning suicide attacks, and that one of the returning jihadists had carried out the April 29 attack on the Saiqa special forces base. Bombs blamed on Islamists detonated at a mosque and at a university in Derna. Reporters Without Borders said it is “alarmed by the constant threats to journalists in Libya,” particularly from militant Islamist groups such as Ansar al Sharia.
