The death toll following a double car bomb attack in the Libyan city of Benghazi on Tuesday night has risen to at least 33, officials said. Ahmad al-Fitouri, a security services official for commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA) Khalifa Haftars forces, was among those killed in the bombing, military spokesman Miloud al-Zwei said. A senior intelligence official, Mahdi al-Fellah, was among around 50 wounded, the officials said. An explosives-rigged vehicle blew up in front of a mosque in the central neighborhood of Al-Sleimani, a security source said. A second car exploded 30 minutes later in the same area, causing more casualties among security services and civilians. Libya has been rocked by chaos since a 2011 uprising that toppled and killed Muammar Gaddafi, with two rival authorities and multiple militias vying for control of the oil-rich country.
