BREAKING News: Car Bomb Hits Embassy in Libya, Two dead one wounded.

The bomb was believed to be planted in a car
parked in front of the embassy, and the blast
severely damaged the building, an officer revealed.

A bomb exploded near the Moroccan embassy in
Libya's Tripoli late Sunday, causing significant
damage to the compound, security sources said
on Monday.

The bomb was believed to be planted in a car
parked in front of the embassy, and the blast
severely damaged the building, an officer for
Tripoli's security directorate said;

No casualties were reported.

Local Islamic State affiliates have claimed
responsibility for the attack in several posts
online, but the claims cannot be independently
verified.

The bombing came just hours after several
militants loyal to the IS attacked the South Korean
Embassy in Tripoli, killing two guards and
wounding one. There were no casualties reported
among South Korean nationals.

Tripoli felled to the hands of the armed Islamist
coalition Libya Dawn last August, when the
internationally recognized Libyan government
retreated to the eastern town of Tobruk. The city
has been plagued by bomb attacks, assassinations
and kidnappings.

Several embassies, including those of Egypt and
the United Arab Emirates, have been targeted by
militants in similar attacks.
