Tripoli, 14 September 2015:
There are unconfirmed reports that a car bomb exploded earlier this evening in Tripoli’s Nufleen district, . . .[restrict]formerly home to a number of diplomatic missions, including that of Tunisia.
There are few details of the explosion except that it appears that there were no casualties. Earlier today there were reports, accompanied by photographs of a distant black plume of smoke, from car bomb detonation in Suq Al-Juma.
These two bombings, if verified come after last Thursday’s car-bombing outside the Habda prison housing former regime prisoners. Though the Tripoli regime’s interior ministry claimed the blast was due to a fuel leak, the prison boss, Khaled Sharif was unequivocal in his belief that the explosion was of a car bomb.
The latest reported blasts come as the Ghwell antigovernment said that it would not bow to the demands of kidnappers who had seized foreign as well as Libyan nationals. In a Facebook post it condemned the recent sharp rise in kidnappings in the capital.
The statement went on to insist that the abductions, even of women, children, the elderly and foreigners who had come to Libya to help its people, would not influence its policy nor cause it to pay ransoms. It added that such criminal acts were an offence to Islam.
