TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — A Libyan security officer says unknown attackers have assassinated three army officers in the eastern city of Benghazi.

Sunday's killings are the latest to hit the security forces in Benghazi, where like much of the country the government faces a challenge from armed groups, many descended from the rebels that overthrew dictator Moammar Gadhafi in 2011.

Col. Abdullah al-Zayedi, spokesman of joint security operations in Benghazi, said two of the officers, one a lieutenant colonel, were killed by bombs attached to their cars. He said a third, who held the rank of colonel, was shot dead by unknown gunmen.

Benghazi has been hit by a months-long wave of targeted killings. Victims have included political activists, judges and members of security agencies.

Alex Jones will milk a week's worth of material for infowars out of this.

5. This was supposed to be the "good" regime change

And there you go.

6. Still not calling them for what they are...

"Armed groups" = gangs, terrorists, at best militias.

"Rebels" = islamic fighters, terrorists, gang members

Trying to fit the narrative of the arab spring on these genocidal gangs of jihadist terrorists only goes so far.
