adminA suicide car bomber has targeted the home of a renegade Libyan general who has been leading an offensive against armed groups in Benghazi, military officials say. The attack on the home of General Khalifa Haftar yesterday left three people dead and injured four others. There were conflicting reports on whether Haftar was injured in the attack, which took place in the eastern city of Benghazi.
Haftar’s spokesman, Colonel Mohamed Higazy, said the general was not hurt but military officials said he was wounded and taken to a Benghazi hospital.
Several messages were posted on Twitter, quoting Quranic verses and prophetic sayings to condemn “Takfeeris”, a term used to condemn Islamic groups that are considered extreme. —AFP
