The tombstone of French soldier Louis Delcros, who died on Dec. 20, 1941, lies on the ground Tuesday March 6 2012 at the Commonwealth Benghazi War Cemetery, holding the remains of British and Commonwealth soldiers who fought during the second world war in the north African desert battles, after it was desecrated by a mob of angry Libyans days earlier. Local reports claimed the group were Islamists angered by the recent burning of a Koran at a NATO military base in Afghanistan. Libya's national transitional government has apologised for the attacks and local authorities have detained several suspects.
