There are reports of a big explosion and gunfire/clashes in Benghazi LIbya. One says the explosion in Benghazi was near the Special Forces HQ. There is very little information right now about what’s happening in Benghazi and what the cause of the explosion is. This comes just days after the terrorist attack in Beirut. There were also reports of explosions in Benghazi on Christmas Eve.
