UK envoy in Libya decries Benghazi attack

UK Ambassador in Tripoli Peter Millett condemned the terror attack that hit a Benghazi town on Tuesday.

“Another senseless terrorist atrocity in Benghazi… Need to rebuild not destroy.” Millett posted on his Twitter account.

A car bomb targeting security forces on Tuesday in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi killed at least 22 people and wounded many others.

The blast occurred in a residential area in the Guwarsha district, the scene of fighting between security forces loyal to Libya’s eastern government and an alliance of Islamists and other opponents.

The alliance, the Shura Council of Benghazi Revolutionaries, claimed responsibility for the blast.
