2 killed in suicide attack in Libya's Benghazi

A suicide bomber blow himself up in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi on Friday, leaving at least two dead and 20 others injured, according to security sources.

A car laden with explosives exploded when it reached an army base, killing a man and a child, the sources added.

So far, no individual or group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Benghazi, the birthplace of the 2011 protests that toppled Libya's former leader Muammar Gaddafi, has since witnessed a drastic escalation of violence.
