Just when there is some positive news out of Libya, such as the export terminals reopening, the country gets hit with something else. On August 2 a car bomb targeting security forces in Benghazi killed 22 people and wounded an additional 20.

According to reports from the beleaguered North African country, the blast occurred in a residential area in the Guwarsha district, the scene of fighting between security forces loyal to Libya’s eastern government and Islamists.
