Multiple bomb attack in Libya’s al-Qubbah kills dozens
At least 25 people have been killed and 30 injured in a multiple bomb attack in the east Libyan town of al-Qubbah, the BBC reported, citing local sources.
Three bombs exploded, targeting a petrol station, a police station and the home of parliamentary speaker Agila Salah, a security source told BBC News.
Mr Salah said the attack appeared to be retaliation for recent Egyptian air strikes on Islamic State militants.
Egypt struck after the group killed 21 Egyptian Christians it had abducted.
Mr Salah put the death toll in the town of 25,000 people at 30.
