Salama Fawzi, 24, was shot in the head while unloading food in front of his grocery stand and is currently being treated in a Libyan hospital where he is said to be in critical condition.
The culprits appear to be members or supporters of the Islamic group, Ansar al-Sharia, which appears to be connected to the ousted Muslim Brotherhood organization in Egypt, and which has reportedly been offering rewards to any Libyan resident who exposes Copts for the killing.
