The bomb blast was described by Ali Zeidan as a “criminal act” aimed at destabilising Libya at a time when the political situation was fragile. He called on Libyans to stand united alongside the government and Congress to overcome the challenges.

Hundreds of angry Benghazi people demonstrated this evening, condemning the blast as a terrorist attack aimed at destroying security and life in the city.

There was a demonstration too in Tripoli’s Algeria Square. Protestors carred placards saying “Where is the Libyan army?” and “With our souls and blood, we will defend you, Benghazi”.
