Tunis, 8 January 2016:

An ambulance full of explosives was safely dealt with in Misrata yesterday after security forces . . .[restrict]prevented it from heading to its target.

The ambulance was believed to have been heading towards the city’s airport and the visiting party of Faiez Serraj, GNA Prime Minister-designate.

Details are still unclear, but it is reported that the ambulance originated from Zliten and tried to make its way into either central Misrata or most likely its airport hoping to achieve maximum damage.

However, the ambulance was detected and was given chase, forced into less built-up areas. The driver refused to stop and either self-detonated his explosives or it exploded as a result of shots fired at it from the pursuing Misratan security forces.

The ambulance was totally destroyed but it caused no real damage to surrounding property and no one was reported injured.

The attempt to detonate the ambulance was seen as part of a plan to further destabilise the security situation in Libya coming on the heels of the recent terror attacks in Sidra, Zliten and Ras Lanuf.

It was also seen as an attempt to disrupt the visit by the GNA to Misrata and Zliten. [/restrict]
