Brigadier Fowzi Mansouri, the leader of military intelligence for eastern Libya's Libyan National Army, was assassinated on Monday when a bomb detonated in his car outside his residence in Benghazi's Hawari district, according to two unnamed security sources who spoke to Reuters. The source of the attack remains unknown, and no additional information about the explosive device were provided.
This incident underscores the ongoing security challenges in Libya, a country still divided between rival administrations and armed factions since a 2014 split following the 2011 NATO-backed uprising that ousted former leader Muammar Gaddafi. The Libyan National Army, commanded by Khalifa Haftar, exerts control over much of eastern and southern Libya, whereas the internationally recognized Government of National Unity resides in Tripoli and governs the western region.
