Bomb explodes at Moroccan embassy in Libya


    TRIPOLI (Reuters) - A bomb exploded at the gate of the Moroccan embassy in the Libyan capital early on Monday, a security official said.

    Nobody was wounded in the bomb attack, he said.

    The gate and a residential building next to the embassy were damaged, residents said.

    Militants claiming loyalty to Islamic State said on twitter they were responsible for the attack.
