None
A Libyan Islamist militia was swept out of the eastern city of Benghazi in a popular protest against the armed groups that ran into the early hours of Saturday morning.
Looters carried weapons out of the vacated Ansar al-Sharia military base compound as men clapped and chanted: "Say to Ansar al-Sharia, Benghazi will be your inferno." Ansar al-Sharia has been linked to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi last week in which the US ambassador to Libya and three other Americans died. It denies involvement.(Reuters)
