Ongoing Militia Fighting Kills 75 in Benghazi

HeadlineOct 20, 2014

A new round of violence has broken out in the ongoing conflict for control of the Libyan city of Benghazi. At least 75 people have been killed in five days of clashes between pro-government militias and rival forces. Libya has been roiled by militia fighting following the U.S.-backed ouster of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Tens of thousands have been displaced since the violence escalated in July.
