Benghazi: Attacks Galore for the West

An Italian diplomat was again attacked in the city of Benghazi, Libya's second largest city. The diplomat escaped unhurt narrowly. Guido De Sanctis, the Italian consul in the city, was travelling in his bullet-proof car when unidentified gunmen opened fire. Benghazi in the post-Gaddafi era has seen numerous spate of attacks aimed Western diplomats and Libyan security forces. The most central was the killing of an American diplomat, Christopher Stevens on September 11, 2012 as well as the shooting of an important police chief weeks ago.
