A Libyan security official resigned on Wednesday after the deadly attack that killed the US ambassador to Libya and three consulate officials in Benghazi last week.

"There are problems at the ministry of interior and disputes between the security services," Fawzi Wanis al-Kadhafi, head of the supreme security committee in Benghazi, told AFP.
"Working conditions are not the same as before, so I decided to resign," he added.

The supreme security committee, which falls under the interior ministry, was established by ex-rebels after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi last year in a bid to restore order.

Libya's interior minister on Monday announced the sacking of deputy interior minister for the eastern region, Wanis al-Sharef, and the head of national security for Benghazi, Hussein Bou Hmid.
