TEHRAN (FNA)- Unknown militants gunned down head of
the military council of the Eastern Libyan city of Sirte Makhlouf
al-Fergani, in the latest attack targeting security personnel in the
country's restive Eastern region.
Al-Fergani died on the spot in the drive-by shooting in Sirte on
Saturday night, the state news agency reported, Al-Manar reported.
The military council in Sirte condemned al-Fergani's killing and
called on security forces to investigate the incident and uncover the
identities of "those who are attempting to sow sedition and instability"
in the city.
The council also denounced the recent string of "assassinations, kidnappings and vandalism" in the Eastern cities.
On Friday, militants in Benghazi, another Eastern city, gunned down military Colonel Wanis al-Barghouthi.
Libyans are still struggling to restore order to their country more
than two years after the death of long-serving strongman Muammar
Gaddafi.
The transitional government and its security forces still face the
change of containing militancy on the streets, which ran rampant with
the armed militias that helped overthrow Gaddafi and which held onto
their weapons after the 2011 uprising.
