Libyan prime minister Abdelhamid Al-dubaiba survived an assassination attempt when unknown assailants opened fire on his car in Tripoli in the early hours of Thursday morning.
A source close to Al-dubaiba said the prime minister was returning home when he fired shots from another car before fleeing, and that the incident had been referred to the public prosecutor for investigation.
Armed and armored vehicles roamed central Tripoli and the Al-Andalus neighborhood following al-dubaiba’s car came under fire.
The perpetrators of the assassination attempt were reportedly not arrested or identified and fled.
