BENGHAZI, Libya
A Libyan army officer was gunned down late Friday by unidentified militants in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi.
Wanis al-Baghouthi was shot twice in the head, a military source told Anadolu Agency.
No group has claimed responsibility for the killing.
Libyans are still struggling to restore order to their country more than two years after the death of long-serving strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
The transitional government and its security forces have worked hard to contain militancy on the streets, which ran rampant with the armed militias that helped overthrow Gaddafi and which held onto their weapons after the 2011 uprising.
