Libya Sufi shrines attacked 'by Islamist hardliners'
A Sufi Muslim shrine has been bulldozed in the Libyan capital Tripoli - the latest in a series of attacks blamed on ultra-conservative Salafi Islamists.
Tripoli residents said men with bulldozers attacked the shrine of al-Shaab al-Dahmani, unimpeded by police.
The attack came a day after hardliners were accused of damaging the tomb of a Sufi scholar in the city of Zlitan.
