Tripoli, 14 May 2014:
A General Electric Company of Libya (GECOL) driver has been killed and a member of the . . .[restrict]company’s management injured in separate shootings in Tripoli today. An associate of the driver was also injured.
GECOL spokesman Lotfi Ghoma told the Libya Herald that Fathi Mohammed Mekhashkhash was shot and killed while leaving Al-Zahra Triangle in west Tripoli, on his way to the 220th GECOL station at Al-Terfas. Mekhashkhash’s associate, who has not been identified, was caught in the crossfire but escaped with only minor injuries.
GECOL Head of Efficiency and Technical Affairs, Abdilrouf Sulieman Yazeed is undergoing treatment and is in a stable condition at a Tripoli hospital following an attack on the Swani road this morning, Ghoma said. Yazeed was targeted by gunmen while on his way to work at GECOL headquarters.
GECOL workers protested outside their headquarters in Tripoli in April over deteriorating security conditions for staff. The demonstrations were sparked by another attack on a GECOL staff member, engineer Mahfoud Garera. Garera later died of his injuries.
