Libya

A powerful car bomb detonated outside the Benghazi offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, injuring two guards and destroying the front of the building. The blast, which occurred on the one-year anniversary of the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, involved such a large quantity of explosives that the bomb vehicle was destroyed and two nearby buildings were also damaged. Prime Minister Zeidan blamed the attack on “a force that wants no state and to turn Libya to a battlefield of terrorism and explosion.” He said a similar bomb had been found and defused yesterday outside the Foreign Ministry in Tripoli.
