Bomb kills 2 at Egyptian Coptic church in Libya’s 3rd-largest city, Misrata
By Associated Press
Egypt’s ambassador visited the church in the coastal city after the attack and urged Libyan security forces to ensure the property is guarded.
A Libyan security official says the deadly attack was caused by a bomb made from an explosive material that typically requires a detonator. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the incident is still under investigation.
Tens of thousands of Egyptian workers have returned to work in Libya following last year’s civil war, despite security dangers.
