A senior police officer was gravely wounded in an overnight bombing in Libya's restive second city of Benghazi, a security official told AFP on Saturday.
"Colonel Faouzi al-Oujli was critically injured when an explosive device placed in his car went off," said the eastern city's security spokesperson, Colonel Mohamed al-Hijazi.

He said the officer had been returning to Benghazi from the southern city of Sabha to visit his family when the blast happened.
"The same method was used as in other attacks on members of the security forces -- a home-made bomb planted in the car," Hijazi said.
"These attacks are well-planned and systematic, and show that police and army officers are under surveillance."
