String of explosions in Libya's capital and eastern city cause minor damage | |||||||||||||||||||||
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) -- Libyan officials say explosions went off in the capital Tripoli and the restive eastern city of Benghazi, but no casualties were reported. A security official says one bombing targeted an abandoned church in Benghazi that had been previously damaged by fire. The explosion damaged only a car parked outside. The official says two other explosions targeted parked security vehicles elsewhere in the city. A soldier was lightly wounded from flying debris. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media. Tripoli's security spokesman, Essam el-Naas, says two suspects have been arrested for an explosion near the Saudi, Greek and Palestinian embassies. A second went off near a security building. He did not give further details about the suspects. All explosions took place Saturday. © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
