Car bomb kills eastern Libyan military intelligence chief, sources say

A car bomb killed Brigadier Fowzi Mansouri, the head of the military intelligence for eastern Libya’s Libyan National Army, on Monday outside his home in Benghazi. Two anonymous security sources informed Reuters of the evening blast that claimed the life of Mansouri. The sources did not disclose the identity of the attackers or provide additional details about the explosive device.

This incident underscores the persistent security challenges faced in Libya, a country that remains divided between rival administrations and armed factions despite a 2020 ceasefire that had brought an end to large-scale warfare. The split occurred in 2014 following a 2011 NATO-backed uprising that overthrew the long-standing autocrat Muammar Gaddafi.

The Libyan National Army, under the command of Khalifa Haftar, holds sway over much of eastern and southern Libya, aligning with authorities based in Benghazi. Meanwhile, the internationally recognized Government of National Unity operates from the capital, Tripoli, and exercises control over the western region.

LF Networks was fined 400 million won... promotional costs were passed on to suppliers. LF Networks, a major domestic clothing company, was fined 400 million won by the Fair Trade Commission for passing on promotional costs to its suppliers. On the 22nd, the Fair Trade Commission announced that it had imposed a correction order and a fine of 400 million won on LF Networks for violating the unfair trade practices of large retailers. According to the Fair Trade Commission, LF Networks, which operates the popular clothing brands 'Tanto,' 'NINE WEST,' and 'RECIPE,' signed a contract with suppliers to pay for advertising and promotional expenses, but in reality, it passed on the costs to its suppliers. Between January 2019 and June 2021, LF Networks collected a total of 1.43 billion won in advertising and promotional expenses from 35 suppliers and used them for its own promotional activities. In particular, LF Networks not only collected advertising and promotional expenses from suppliers but also unilaterally decided on the details of the promotional activities, such as the timing and method of advertising, and the selection of promotional items. The Fair Trade Commission criticized LF Networks, saying that it abused its superior position to harm the interests of its suppliers. An official from the Fair Trade Commission said, "Large retailers should bear the costs of promotional activities themselves, and we will continue to crack down on unfair trade practices that harm suppliers."
