Libyan Minister Shot Dead Libyan officials say the deputy industry minister has been shot dead during a visit to his hometown of Sirte, 400 kilometers east of the capital, Tripoli. The Libya Herald says Hassan al-Droui was killed after evening prayers Saturday near a market in central Sirte. There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the shooting. Since the collapse of Colonel Moammar Gadhafi`s government, Libya has been plagued by sporadic violence, including a string of assassinations targeting top army and security officials. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/content/libyan-minister-shot-dead/1828256.htm l References 1. http://www.voanews.com/content/libyan-minister-shot-dead/1828256.html
