An armed group has stormed the Tripoli headquarters of the National Oil Corporation (NOC) in Libya. A security official at the site said at least two staff members and two gunmen have been killed in the attack. "The death toll so far is two killed from NOC staff and two attackers," said Ahmad Ben Salim, spokesman for the Special Deterrence Force (Rada) force, according to Reuters. In May, the Islamic State group claimed a deadly attack on the national election commission offices in the capital. The National Oil Corporation in Tripoli is the only internationally recognized oil body - they have consistently been the only institution that is in control of global oil sales from the conflict-ridden country.
