Officials say violence erupted after protesters stormed a base belonging to the Libya Shield brigade, a militia reportedly aligned with the Defense Ministry. The militia is made up of rebels who had fought to oust former Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The protesters are demanding that militia members lay down their arms and be replaced with Libya`s regular security forces. Benghazi was the site of the September 11 attack last year that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/11-killed-in-clashes-in-libya/1678064 .html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/11-killed-in-clashes-in-libya/1678064.html
