BENGHAZI, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- Libya's interior minister has dismissed two security chief officers, a move obviously related to last week's attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi.
The two sacked officials are Wanis al-Sharef, deputy interior minister in charge of Libya's eastern region, and Hussein Bou Hmida, chief of national security for Benghazi, according to Libyan interior ministry's documents obtained by Xinhua on Monday.
Angered by an alleged U.S.-made movie that insults Prophet Mohammed, hundreds of protesters broke into the U.S. consulate building in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi on Sept. 11, resulting in the death of U.S. ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
