Gunmen attack Tunisian consulate in Benghazi
A group of armed gunmen stormed the Tunisian consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi on Monday to protest against an art exhibition in Tunisia which they said insulted Islam, a security guard who works inside the building said.    

Suleiman al-Gehani, an official with the foreign ministry who was called to help defuse the situation, said security officers had to negotiate with the group until they were convinced to leave.    

He said no shots were fired and no one was injured.    

The Tunisian embassy in Tripoli was not immediately available for comment.
