Car bomb near Tripoli’s Busetta naval base
2016-09-09
[Libya Herald] A boom-mobile went kaboom! this morning opposite Busetta navel base in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
, near the foreign ministry buildings in central Tripoli’s Zawiat al-Dahmani district. The bomb did not cause great damage, however, and no one was injured.

It is not known who was responsible, or who or what was the specific target. The base is still used by the Presidency Council, mainly now as a secure location to meet foreign diplomats and visitors.

There were reports of a second kaboom but these have not been verified.
