Sufyan bin Qumu, a former driver for Osama bin Laden and ex-Guantanamo detainee, is said to have been shot in the Islamist stronghold of Darna. He has been linked to the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi last fall that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens. Libyan media said a colleague of Qumu's was shot in a failed attempt to assassinate Qumu, who is a founder of Ansar al Sharia in Libya. Another Ansar al Sharia commander was killed in Sirte last week.
