Members of the Rafallah Sahati Islamic Militia Brigades, stand on alert in front their base in Benghazi, Libya, Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012. On Friday evening, hundreds of protesters angry over last week's killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya stormed the compound of the Islamic extremist Ansar al-Shariah Brigade militia suspected in the attack, evicting militiamen and setting fire to their building. After taking over the Ansar compound, protesters then drove to attack the Benghazi headquarters of Rafallah Sahati where militiamen opened fire on the protesters, who were largely unarmed, leaving at least 20 wounded, and several killed according to hospital sources.
