Strict security measures taken in Benghazi to protect banks as new banknotes arrive

A source from Benghazi said strict security measures have been taken in Benghazi as part of a plan to protect the city’s banks.

The source added Wednesday that many units from the police, central backup forces, and criminal investigation forces are securing the banks.
