Police seize suspect in failed Sudanese embassy bombing
A man in police custody is suspected of trying to plant a bomb outside the Sudanese Embassy in the Gargaresh district of Tripoli.The suspect, who has not been named, was picked up by the Abu Sleem police after a bomb alleged to contain 200 grammes of TNT was discovered at the embassy. Apparently connected to a mobile phone, the device failed to detonate. It is unclear where the bomb was discovered or how the suspect was arrested. That quantity of explosive could have produced a considerable blast, a member of the local Criminal Investigation Division explained. The police are saying that the man, a Libyan from the Gargaresh area, was claiming that he had been paid by an unnamed source to plant the bomb. His case has been referred to the Attorney General’s office. Posted by: badanov 2016-01-27 |
