By the way Gaddafi tried to blow up
the media centre in Benghazi today using an explosive device,
-At around 2pm,
security asked the Benghazi media centre employees to evacuate the building.
They said that there was a large bomb. The bomb was in the basement of the media
centre and could have been enough to destroy or damage the building. Security
and bomb disposal units were able to defuse and destroy the bomb and then a
group of commandos searched the building. The commandos searched all media
centre employees using sniffer dogs and the group responsible for the attempt
was caught. This group is suspected of being Gaddafi spies, called Gaddafi’s
“5th column” after Libyan State TV prmised a “surprise” yesterday. The media
centre is safe now and Gaddafi’s 5th column were caught. This is via an
eyewitness from the centre on Facebook.
