The wreckage of a burnt car is seen outside a building used by Ansar al-Sharia militia after it was torched by residents on November 25, 2013 in Benghazi. Military governor Colonel Abdullah al-Saidi declared a “state of alert” after Jihadist group Ansar al-Sharia attacked Libyan special forces in Benghazi, sparking an all-out battle in which at least five soldiers died, in what was the first such confrontation between the army and Libya’s top jihadist group.
