French embassy bombing 'terrorist act': Libya

TRIPOLI: Libyan Foreign Minister Mohammed Abdel Aziz condemned Tuesday's car bomb attack on the French embassy in Tripoli, calling it a "terrorist act".

"We strongly condemn this act, which we regard as a terrorist act against a brother nation that supported Libya during the revolution" of 2011 that ousted the regime of Moamer Kadhafi, Abdel Aziz told AFP at the scene of the blast.

The car bomb wounded two French guards and caused extensive damage in the first attack on a foreign mission since militants stormed the US consulate in Benghazi in September.
