The Libyan High National Elections Commission (HNEC) said on Thursday that four of its election centers have been attacked by a group of gunmen. Said Al-Qasabi, head of the main operations chamber of the HNEC, said in a statement that gunmen in civilian clothes launched the attacks on Wednesday, taking away 2,312 voter cards and damaging 69 others. Interior Minister Khaled Mazen on Tuesday warned that obstructing the security plan of the elections could threaten the whole electoral process. The UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) on Monday condemned acts that aim to jeopardize the integrity of the elections in Libya. Libya is scheduled to hold presidential elections on Dec. 24 and the parliamentary elections in January next year, with an aim to bring stability to the war-torn country.
