Tripoli - Libyan security services defused
several car bombs and other explosives that were found in the past two
days, Prime Minister Ali Zeidan said on Sunday.
Zeidan did not specify where the
discoveries were made, but said his government and security services
were determined to “thwart any attempt to destabilise the country”.
“The car bombs and explosives were
discovered in the past two days and were neutralised by the police and
army,” Zeidan told a news conference.
On Tuesday, three people were
killed and 14 wounded in a car blast in the eastern city of Benghazi
which authorities initially said was a bomb explosion, but later
described as an “accident”.
On April 23, a car bomb targeted
the French embassy in Tripoli, wounding two French guards and several
Libyans and causing extensive damage.
In the wake of political and
security tensions, London and Washington last week decided to evacuate
some staff from their embassies in Tripoli, a move followed by other
Western governments. - Sapa-AFP
