PROTESTERS STORM LIBYAN ELECTION OFFICE IN BENGHAZI
Armed protesters calling for more autonomy for Libya's east stormed the national election commission in Benghazi yesterday.
They trashed the premises less than a week before the North African country holds an election.
About 300 men carried computers and ballot boxes from the building and began crushing them while chanting pro-federalism slogans.
The violence follows a series of security breaches in the coastal city, which was the cradle of last year's uprising, adding to concerns of how safe Libya's first free national elections on July 7 will be.
