Bombing, clashes leave 6 people dead in NW Libya
A total of six people have lost their lives in a bombing as well as clashes between security forces and terrorist in Libya’s northwest.
According to Press TV, Aziz Issa, head of the media office at Misrata's central hospital, said a car bomb went off at a checkpoint, about 80 km south of the Libyan port city.
The bombing left a member of the security forces in Libya dead and four others wounded, he added.
No individual or militant group has yet claimed responsibility for the incident, but the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group has carried out several attacks on checkpoints on the coastal road south of Misrata, which leads toward the group’s stronghold in the city of Sirte.
Meanwhile, an unnamed security source said militants raided a military camp early on Wednesday near the town of Bani Walid, southeast of Misrata, and seized weapons and ammunition.
Two members of the security forces lost their lives in the clashes along with three camp workers who had been beheaded, according to an unidentified official from Bani Walid's town council.
Libya has been dominated by violence since a NATO military intervention followed the 2011 uprising that led to the toppling and killing of longtime dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.
