TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Gunmen launched an attack on Libya’s official television station on Tuesday, firing rocket-propelled grenades at the troops guarding it before they were driven off by reinforcements, officials said. There were no reports of casualties.
The officials said the attackers were likely the followers of militia leader Jumaa al-Shahm, who had controlled the Libya TV station building in the capital Tripoli for months before they were ousted by government forces last week and al-Sham arrested.
