Men look at the scene near a military base in Barsis, some 50 km (30 miles) outside Benghazi, after a suicide bomber detonated a truck packed with explosives at an army checkpointThrough Ayman al-Warfalli BARSIS, Libya (Reuters) – A suicide bomber detonated a truck full of explosives at an army checkpoint outdoor the city of Benghazi on Sunday, killing 13 squaddies in the first such attack in Libya's deepening turmoil. Automobile bombs and assassinations of army and cops are popular in Benghazi, the place troops have clashed incessantly with militants from the hardline Islamist crew Ansar al-Sharia. However a suicide bombing would mark a shift in ways to fit a pattern well-liked in different Islamist struggles in the Middle East, but now not in Libya either all the way through or since the rebellion that brought down Muammar Gaddafi. The attacker blew himself up at a road checkpoint near a small armed forces base in Barsis, some 50 km (30 miles) outdoor Benghazi, killing thirteen people and wounding three, state news company Lana stated.
