Armed protesters storm Libya's national election commission office in Benghazi.<br/> <br />The protest comes just a week before the country is set to elect a national assembly that will draw up a new constitution.<br/> <br />The protesters say they are calling for greater autonomy in Libya's east.<br/> <br />Piles of voting lists, ballot papers and other documents were set ablaze at the gates of the election commission.<br/> <br />In May, a self-proclaimed autonomous council for Libya's oil-producing eastern province called on people in the region to boycott the July 7 election.<br/> <br />They said it would not give adequate representation to the east.<br/> <br />The election is a crucial milestone in shaping Libya's new institutions after the revolt last year that toppled former leader Muammar Gaddafi.<br/> <br />Sarah Sheffer, Reuters
