Benghazi, 26 February 2017:

A car bomb driven into a Libyan National Army convoy this morning killed two and injured seven including colonel Mahmoud Al-Warfali, a Saiqa Special Forces commander.

Warfali was on his way to the 12 Buildings in Ganfouda where the last terrorists are still holding out.  The car bomber struck near a petrol station in Gwarsha.  Two vehicles were destroyed.

The injured were taken to Benghazi Medical Centre where Warfali was first reported to be in a critical state. However a bedside picture shows Warfali conscious and giving a victory sign. Around him are six soldiers including Fadl Al-Hassi, the head of Saiqa’s investigation unit.
