Gunmen have attacked Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah’s convoy in the capital, Tripoli, according to sources.
The attack took place early on Thursday as the interim leader was returning home.

One of the bullets penetrated the windscreen of the prime minister’s car, but he and his driver escaped unhurt.
The attack comes amid intense factional wrangling over the control of the government, with Dbeibah – who was named interim leader last year – pledging to fight efforts by his opponents to replace him.
