Car bomb explodes in central Tripoli, near Italy embassy

By REUTERS
TRIPOLI  - A car bomb exploded late on Saturday close to the recently re-opened Italian embassy in the Libyan capital, a security official said.
It was not clear who was responsible for the blast. Two charred bodies were recovered from the car, according to a statement on a social media page run by a local branch of the Red Crescent, but the identity of the occupants was unknown.
Some vehicles parked nearby were also hit, but damage from the blast, which could be heard at least a kilometer away, was limited.
The security official, who did not want to be named, said it appeared that explosives had been planted in the car.
The blast occurred next to the Ministry of Planning and near the Egyptian embassy, which is closed. The Italian embassy is some 350 meters away.
