Libya _Italian cemetery in Tripoli attacked by Qaddafi supporters &

libyaherald

Dozens of Qaddafi supporters waving green flags attacked the Italian cemetery in Tripoli yesterday evening.
Informed sources told Libya Herald that the assailants smashed up the guardroom at the cemetery entrance but the guard was uninjured.
However, local thuwar (militias) and the neighbours quickly confronted the attacker, chasing them out of the site before they  could penetrate the graveyard itself or cause damage to any graves. The police later arrived to secure the site.
This incident comes after two Italian workers in a construction company went missing on Friday between Martuba and Derna in eastern Libya.
But it also comes against the background of pro-Qaddafi supporters attacking and occupying an airbase in south of Libya as well as a series of unconfirmed reports of green pro-Qaddafi flags being raised in a number of places in Libya.
Pro-Qaddafi supporters have also been broadcasting recently through a satellite TV channel, thought to be broadcasting on the Egyptian-based Nilesat satellite.
In 2012, over 100 World War II Allied war grave stones in Benghazi were smashed.
