TRIPOLI: Libyan authorities have arrested two people suspected of carrying out an attempted rocket attack on the United Nations mission in Libya in August, the attorney general’s office said Friday.
The two suspects in the attack — which did not cause casualties or damage — were questioned by investigators and prosecutors in the capital Tripoli before being placed in pre-trial detention, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
Their identities and motives were not disclosed, but the two were “confronted with incriminating evidence” by prosecutors, the statement added.
The prosecutor’s office did not provide further details.
In August, the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) said its Tripoli headquarters had come under rocket attack, without victims or damage.
