The head of the Benghazi Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Abdulsalam Al-Mihdawi, was kidnapped yesterday evening in Benghazi by an unknown group of armed men.

Sources told the Libya Herald that Mihdawi and two colleagues were waiting in their vehicle at a traffic light on Venezia Street in the Hawari district of Benghazi when two masked gunmen jumped out of a nearby car and seized the officer.

Shortly after the incident was reported, local police organised search squads to check nearby roads for any sign of the officer or his kidnappers, and later that evening, residents of Benghazi and officers from the security forces gathered outside the Tebesti hotel to condemn the abduction.

Today, the head of Benghazi’s local council, Mahmoud Buraziza, told the Libya Herald that the council and city authorities strongly condemned the incident, saying: “We are against killing, kidnapping or any such crimes, and we are firmly on the side of the law.”

Buraziza also pointed out that Mihdawi had only recently been appointed to his post in the CID in Benghazi.

This abduction comes after a series of security incursions, including attacks on police stations and assassinations of top security personnel in the city of Benghazi ...

Benghazi looks like it is the centre of some sort of insurgency. We are not being given the full picture.

The graphic is very good, Casie, but you missed something. The Turks and some reps of dot gov were doubledealing. Stevens was out of the loop. At some point, Stevens was made aware of it. They were sending arms TO GAZA through EGYPT and the muslim brotherhood was smuggling them across the Israeli border at the Rafah Crossing.
Stevens is dead. The Turk walked away free as the breeze. And now we are sending missiles and TROOPS to Turkey and fighter jets to the muslim brotherhood.
0 and morsi speak often. YOU figure it out.

MestaMachine~:” Stevens is dead. The Turk walked away free as the breeze. And now we are sending missiles and TROOPS to Turkey and fighter jets to the muslim brotherhood.

Casie ~:” Obama aims to hand the entire Middle East over to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is Obama’s Cold War .”

The lamestream media has given the acts of Near East revolution the anti-climatic title of : “Arab Spring” .
There really ought to be a better grabbing title so as to show that Obama owns this rebellion and upset of foreign countries.
Any suggestions ??
