Tripoli, 2 November 2014:

An army colonel who returned to Derna for his brother’s burial was gunned down yesterday . . .[restrict]in the family home.

Col Abdul Razaq Awad Benali had  travelled from Benghazi.  A source in the town told the Libya Herald that the brother had died a few days ago.  He added that attackers had “stormed into the family’s house in the Wadi Embach district and shot him [Col Ali] in front of everybody. They then left celebrating”.

In further violence in Derna, the café at the Al-Jabal Al-Siyahi hotel was bombed in the small hours of Sunday morning. There were no casualties but there was reported to be extensive damage to the café, which has been a popular meeting place for writers and artists.
