BENGHAZI, Libya: A powerful blast caused severe damage to a foreign ministry building in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Wednesday, witnesses said.

It was not immediately known if the blast, which the witnesses said appeared to have been caused by a car bomb, had resulted in casualties.

The explosion comes on the first anniversary of an attack by militants on the United States consulate in Benghazi, which killed four Americans, including the ambassador.

EL-ARISH, Egypt - Egyptian officials say a suicide bomber has rammed his explosives-laden car into the security headquarters in a border town in Sinai, killing at least one person.

The security officials say the front of the one-story building in the town of Rafah has collapsed and that an unspecified number of troops and policemen are buried underneath.

They say the bomber drove into the building at high speed on Wednesday. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media.

4. The Egyptian military is reaping what it has sown.

Depose the elected president.

Massacre his supporters.

What did they expect? (I suspect they expected just this kind of thing and will use it to their advantage.)
