From Benghazi, CEOAFRICA.com gathered that during the weekend, a grenade exploded outside the Egyptian Consulate in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, though no one died in the process.

Sources said several materials were damaged following the blast.

According to Benghazi Joint Security Room spokesman Col. Abdullah Al-Zaidi, a locally-made grenade was thrown into the consulate by yet to be identified hoodlums who fled immediately they finished their action.
