At least 12 people were killed and over 50 injured in clashes in Benghazi after Libyan irregular forces shelled bases of Ansar al Sharia and another Islamist group. Yesterday in Benghazi, gunmen assassinated two special forces members and an imam described as moderate. Ansar al Sharia eulogized him as “a great symbol among the symbols of jihad.” In Derna, assailants forced a constitutional assembly candidate from her car and drove off with it. A bomb damaged the Ajdabiya courthouse. The government agreed to pay 25% of this year’s Haj expenses for 8,000 Libyans.
