Al-Mansouri killing revives Libyan targeting concerns
The assassination of Major General Fawzi Al-Mansouri, head of the Military Intelligence Department of the Libyan National Army in eastern Libya, has reignited memories of the wave of assassinations and bombings that struck Benghazi between 2013 and 2014. During that period, military and security forces were targeted using IEDs and car bombs. The attack was carried out using a sticky improvised explosive device targeting his vehicle, reflecting the use of terrorist methods similar to those employed by extremist groups. This is considered the first such incident in years and has raised questions about the National Army's ability to protect its leadership. The attack prompted heightened security measures and directives from Khalifa Haftar to increase protective measures. The military leadership condemned the attack as a despicable act and affirmed their determination to pursue the perpetrators, amid ongoing threats from sleeper cells and supply lines for terrorist groups, amidst escalating security challenges in Libya, which suffers from political and military division.
