By Ahmed Elumami.

Benghazi, 6 August 2013:

A car bomb which exploded in Benghazi between 11.30 and 12pm today resulted in the death . . .[restrict]of its driver, a civilian. The incident happened opposite the Khaled Ben Al-Walid Football Club in the city’s Hadaeq district.

Social media and some websites initially identified the victim as an intelligence officer named as Ibrahim Ali Haddad. However, the official spokesperson for Bengahzi’s Joint Security Room, Mohamed Hijazi, told the Libya Herald that the deceased was one Hamid Ali Werfaly, a civilian, and there was no apparent motive for his killing. He believed that this may have been a case of mistaken identity.

The explosion was huge and Hijazi estimated the size of the bomb at 15 kgs. The vehicle was totally destroyed and Hijazi expressed surprise that some personal effects of the victim survived. The victim’s was identified from his ID card. Passers-by attempted to rescue the victim but were prevented by the intensity of the flames.
