Benghazi, 12 September 2014:
A group of gunmen, believed to be members of Ansar Sharia who were attacking civil defence . . .[restrict]centre in Benghazi’s Sidi Hussein district, were forced to flee last night leaving their vehicles when local residents started firing at them.
It is thought that militamen wanted to steal new ambulances kept at the centre, the base for local firefighters. However, there are also suggestions that they were trying to take over the centre.
This morning the local residents blocked the road to try and prevent an similar attack. [/restrict]
