Car bombs target Egyptian, UAE embassy in Libya
TRIPOLI - Car bombs targeted the Egyptian embassy and that of the United Arab Emirates in the Libyan capital on Thursday, causing some damage to the buildings, long-shuttered in the wake of violence roiling Tripoli.
No one was hurt in the near-simultaneous explosions that rocked the city's upscale neighborhood housing foreign missions, officials said.
Both the Egyptian and the Emirati embassy, along with most diplomatic missions, foreign and international organizations have been closed for months as Islamist-allied militias seized Tripoli after weeks of fierce fighting.
