Benghazi, 20 September 2017:
A grenade was thrown at the entrance to the Saiqa Special Forces building in Benghazi’s Buatni district this morning, according to its spokesman, Colonel Miloud Al-Zwai. No one was hurt and damage was slight.
It is not known who was responsible other than that a Toyota pickup truck was used, the spokesman noted, adding that security patrols had been sent to the area to investigate any suspicious activities.
Just hours before the attack, the head of Saiqa Brigadier, Brigadier Wanis Bukhamada, had warned of terrorist sleeper cells still existing in the city. He called on local people to pass on any information about any suspicions they had.
The call comes after a number of kidnappings and discoveries of bodies in the city.
Last night, extra forces were deployed in different parts of the city to help prevent any attempted action by them and control movement of illegal weapons.
In a related move, Bukhamada has ordered than any non-military vehicles displaying a Saiqa logo be seized.
Meanwhile, there has still been no news of the whereabouts of Sufi activist Abd Elmatlob Serhani who left his home on 27 August and has not been seen since. It is thought that his disappearance may be connected to criticism from him against the growth of Salafism within the military.
