A suicide attack on Libya’s electoral commission killed at least 12 people in the capital Tripoli today.
The internationally backed Government of National Accord said, it is dealing with the consequences of the cowardly suicide attack.
Eyewitnesses earlier said, shots were heard and black smoke could be seen rising from the headquarters of the national election commission.
The United Nations mission in Libya condemned the terrorist attack and said it extended its condolences to the families of the victims who lost their lives.
The UN is hoping that Libya can hold elections this year as it seeks to leave behind years of chaos since the 2011 ouster of dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
