Blast outside Algeria embassy in Libya wounds two guards
An explosion outside the Algerian embassy in Libya's capital Tripoli on Saturday slightly wounded two guards and damaged nearby vehicles, officials and residents said.
Algeria and most other countries evacuated their diplomats in the summer during fighting between rival factions who are battling for control of the oil-producing North African state three years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi.
Two guards suffered minor wounds by the blast, officials in Tripoli and Algeria's state news agency said.
Libya's recognized government, which has been forced to work out of a rump state in the east, denounced the explosion in a statement as "cheap attempt" to undermine UN-sponsored peace talks which started this week in Geneva.
