BENGHAZI – One person was killed and five wounded Sunday when a car blew up in a cemetery in Benghazi, security and medical sources said.

The car exploded after the funeral of a police officer killed in a similar blast the previous day, killing one of the car’s passengers, security spokesman Ibrahim al-Sharaa said.

Five other people were wounded and taken to a nearby hospital.

Libya has seen growing lawlessness since the 2011 uprising in which rebels toppled and killed long-ruling dictator Moamar Gaddafi.

In Benghazi, the cradle of the revolt, militants have targeted security forces and foreign missions. The U.S. ambassador and three other Americans were killed in Benghazi by Islamist militants linked to al-Qaeda, on Sep. 11, 2014.

Last week, a young American teacher was gunned down in the city during his morning jog.

Sunday’s funeral was for police colonel Kamel Baraza, who died earlier in the day of injuries sustained Saturday when a bomb placed under his car exploded.
