Libya's elected lawmakers say session halted after car burned outside


    BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Libya's elected parliament based in the eastern city of Tobruk interrupted a session attended by Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni on Tuesday after protesters burned a car outside the venue, lawmakers said.

    Pictures on social media showed a burning car but it was not immediately clear what the protesters were demanding.
