Protesters storm TV station in Benghazi over reports about Bani Walid clashes.
BENGHAZI, Libya, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Hundreds of tribesmen stormed a TV station in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi on Sunday in protest against what they called "false reports" about the clashes in their hometown of Bani Walid.
The protesters from Warfalla tribe, one of the largest in Libya, destroyed most of the offices and equipment at al-Hurra TV station.
Bani Walid, a stronghold of former leader Muammar Gaddafi, have witnessed days of clashes after being besieged by pro-government militiamen.
The protesters set fire to many offices, destroyed all the equipment and attacked some journalists, according to Hossam al-Barasi, an al-Hurra TV employee.
