Red Cross Attacked in Libya

Unknown assailants attacked the International Red Cross buildings in Misrata, Libya on Sunday.

Gunfire was joined by rockets and grenades and the buildings were severely destroyed, but luckily no one was hurt.

This makes the fifth time in less than three months that attacks have been made on the independent aid agency.

The head of their Libyan delegation, Ishfaq Muhamed Khan, stated that they would temporarily vacate from Misrata and Benghazi.


"We are appalled by this latest act and by the deliberate targeting of our staff: they have put their lives at risk to serve the Libyan people both during and after the conflict," Khan said.
