Libya militias seize Benghazi special forces base




A special forces base in the Libyan city of Benghazi has been seized by militias, fighters and officials say.
The site was captured by Islamist-led militias after days of fighting in the eastern city, officials said.

Meanwhile, Italy has offered to help extinguish a huge blaze that has engulfed the biggest fuel depot in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

Libya has been gripped by instability since the 2011 uprising, with swathes of the country controlled by militias.
