Benghazi's airport closed
Air space over Benghazi's airport has re-opened after being closed for several hours for security reasons, the airport manager in the eastern Libyan city said Friday.
"We re-opened it at 12.30 (10.30 GMT)," Taba Mohammed said.
Earlier on Friday, he had said it had been briefly closed for routine security checks, but had declined to elaborate on exactly why the decision had been taken, the Daily Star reports.
Benghazi was the scene of fierce clashes on Tuesday after gunmen stormed the U.S. consulate and attacked a safe house, killing the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.
