At least 22 people were killed and 33 injured after a double vehicle bombing rocked Libya's Benghazi on Tuesday.
The second explosion took place after 10 to 15 minutes, when a bomb, planted in a Mercedes auto parked on the opposite side of the mosque, exploded.
One of those killed was Ahmed al-Feitouri of the investigation and arrest unit attached to the general command of east Libyan security forces.
Benghazi has been the scene of more than three years of conflict - from 2014 until late last year. A senior intelligence official, Mahdi al-Fellah, was among around 50 wounded, officials said.
The attack left both civilians and military casualties, according to the sources.

YouTube pushing fans to 'Official Artist Channels' with automatic subscriptions
As a natural outcome , however, it seems inevitable that Vevo artist channels are about to lose their standing on YouTube. Many people consider YouTube their go-to source for music, but a lot of artists have a mishmash of official channels.
A local health official said at least 27 people were killed and 32 were wounded.
It is not yet clear who was behind the bloodshed. The city has seen fighting between forces loyal to local strongman Khalifa Hifter, a former US -based Libyan opposition member who leads remnants of Libya's National Army in the east, and Islamist militia opponents.
Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA) claimed control of its rivals' final hold on the port city in December.
Haftar heads a government based in eastern Libya, while an internationally recognized administration has been set up in the capital, Tripoli, in the west.
