By Noora Ibrahim.

Benghazi, 18 January 2014:

Militants attempting to storm the barracks of the 147th Battalion in Benghazi, in a raid  apparently . . .[restrict]targeting the garrison’s armoury, have been beaten off by troops.

Gunmen in four white 4×4 Toyota pickups yesterday tried to force their way into the unit’s base in Ras Al-Mingar. Their aim seems to have been to seize weapons and ammunition.

However the attackers, who had covered their faces with scarves and masks, were driven back by guards.  No deaths or injuries were reported in the exchanges of fire. It is not clear if any of the attackers were captured.
