British and Italian war graves desecrated in Benghazi, Libya...

Libya's leadership has apologised after armed men smashed the graves of British and Italian soldiers killed during World War Two, in an act of vandalism that appeared to be directed against non-Muslims.

Amateur video footage of the attack, posted on social networking site Facebook, showed men casually kicking over headstones in a war cemetery and using sledge hammers to smash a metal and stone cross.

One man can be heard saying: "This is a grave of a Christian" as he uprooted a headstone from the ground.

 Another voice in the footage says of the people buried in the cemetery: "These are dogs." Full story...
