Italy suspended activity at its consulate in Benghazi and
withdrew staff for security reasons on Tuesday after a gun attack on its
consul at the weekend which underlined the precarious security
situation in the North African state.
Unidentified gunmen opened fire on Guido De Sanctis’s heavily armored car in Benghazi, Libya’s second city, on Saturday. The diplomat was unhurt but the attack was a reminder of the September 11 attack on the U.S. mission there that killed the ambassador and three other Americans.
The foreign ministry said “attempts to destabilize” Libya showed that the international community needed to intensify its support for the government in Tripoli.
