Benghazi gunmen kill Libya commander Ahmed al-Barghathi
Masked gunmen have shot dead a Libyan military police commander in the city of Benghazi, the BBC reported, citing officials.
Ahmed al-Barghathi, the head of the military police's investigative division, was shot several times as he left his house for Friday prayers.
No group has admitted carrying out the attack.
Many security officials have been targeted by gunmen since the end of the 2011 war that toppled Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's government.
In the past year alone, more than 80 people, many of whom were high-profile military and police figures or retired army generals, have been assassinated in eastern Libya.
