Blast kills 15, injures 30 in E Libya

The explosion struck a crowded area near Al-Galaa Hospital on Monday, security sources said.

Benghazi is the cradle of 2011 uprising which toppled the long-time dictator, Muammar Gaddafi. The city has been the scene of numerous attacks and assassinations since then.

On Friday, unknown heavily-armed assailants attacked two police stations in Benghazi, but the attack left no casualties.

Back in September 2012, an attack on the US Consulate killed Washington’s Ambassador Christopher Stevens as well as four other Americans.

Libyans rose up against Gaddafi’s four-decade-long rule in February 2011 and deposed him in August 2011. He was killed on October 20 of the same year.
