Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah’s convoy has been attacked in Tripoli as the interim leader was returning home, foreign media are reporting. Al Jazeera said the attack took place early on Thursday as the interim leader was returning home. Reuters also reported the incident, saying that a source close to the prime minister described it as “an assassination attempt”. Named interim leader last year, Dbeibah, a powerful businessman Misurata, has pledged to fight efforts by his opponents to replace him. Dbeibah said earlier this in the week he would resist any attempts by parliament to replace his Tripoli-based government.
