Police chief killed in Libya's Benghazi: sources

BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - A top security official in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi was killed in front of his home overnight on Wednesday, security officials said, in the latest violence to plague the cradle of the North African country's revolt.

Faraj al-Deirsy, head of Benghazi police, died from multiple gunshot wounds, police and interior ministry sources said.

"This happened in front of his house when unknown attackers opened fire and hit him before fleeing," a police source.

An interior ministry official confirmed that Deirsy, in charge of security in Benghazi, had been killed in front his home.

So why can't MSNBC hammer on Issa for about 15 news cycles in a row?


If there is any scandal with respect to Benghazi, it is the Issa scandal.


You know that if Issa was a Democrat, Fox would be hammering him non stop for his treason.
