(Reuters) - Gunmen stole $55 million in a heist on a van carrying local and foreign currency for the Libyan central bank on Monday, state news agency Lana said.
Ten armed men stopped the van in the coastal city of Sirte carrying 53 million Libyan dinars ($43.49 million) and foreign currency worth $12 million, Lana said. The van was coming from the airport where the cash had been flown in from Tripoli for the local central bank branch.

well isn’t that just real damn convenient
Some of it will show up in Vegas,....
...just before AQ strikes us again...
“We came, we saw, HE died...”. HILLARY
With all the arms for terrorists thru Ben Ghazi, gotta imagine this $55 million could be traced, if it was accessible, to US Taxdollars. So, no worries... plenty more where that came from.
Another foreign policy success of the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
They put $55 mil into one van??!!
From Libya Herald:
“According to a source there was only one security vehicle accompanying the truck and that those inside had felt unable to take on the ten armed men.”
Anyone recall that notorious case of a ton of cash vanishing fro
The US Embassy in Kabul..? I recall reports of a large STOL a/c packed to the roof with us cash struggling to take-off.
At least that was how it worked until recently. The East of Libya has declared autonomy, oil production is down to 10% of pre-war levels and there will be no more central government any day now.
So long as the DNC gets its cut, it’s OK.
When the Tunisian government fell they were loading pallets of gold onto a plane bound for Europe with the president’s wife.
Libyan money has value? They are doing better than us. Who would have thunk it.
Money from the central bank.
Guns from Benghazi.
Where are they going to get the lawyers?
Was the heist at night? You know, we “lost” those night vision devices in Libya. Where’s that court martial for losing armored vehicles and weapons?
Blame the Joker!!!!
Pikers... 0 stole trillions.
