Loud explosions heard in Libya's Benghaz

Three loud explosions rocked the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Sunday, in what appeared to be attacks on judicial institutions there, a resident and a security source said. Resident Hassan Bakoush told Reuters by telephone that he heard an explosion at the court in the north of the city: "It was very loud and I saw the smoke. Some balconies of nearby buildings are damaged."

A security source said there were two more explosions, one in the vicinity of an office of the justice ministry and the other near a court in the south of the city. (Reuters)
