Twin blasts kill two in Libya capital

A Libyan security official said two car bombs have exploded in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, killing two people.

The official said the first car bomb went off in a main street early in the morning Sunday, killing two and wounding four people.

Thirty minutes later, a cab parked in a narrow alley by the Interior Ministry exploded, wounding several people. The official says a third car bomb was discovered, also near the ministry, but was defused.

Tripoli’s security authorities went on high alert after the bombings.
