Interim leader escapes unhurt after gunmen fire on his car as he returned home early on Thursday, sources said. Gunmen have attacked Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah’s convoy in the capital, Tripoli, according to sources, hours before the eastern-based parliament is due to convene to elect a new prime minister. The attack took place early on Thursday as the interim leader was returning home, the sources told Al Jazeera, calling it an “assassination attempt”. Exclusive footage obtained by Al Jazeera showed what appeared to be a bullet hole in the windscreen of Dbeibah’s car. “Now, with the security forces not able to ensure even the prime minister safety, people might start second guessing whether Libya’s security services can protect senior officials,” Traina added.
