location: Misratah
notes: An ambulance full of explosives was safely dealt with in Misrata on 8 January after security forces prevented it from heading to its target. The ambulance was detected and was given chase, forced into less built-up areas. The driver refused to stop and either self-detonated his explosives or it exploded as a result of shots fired at it from the pursuing Misratan security forces. The ambulance was totally destroyed but it caused no real damage to surrounding property and no one was reported injured.
