“A bomber blew up his explosives-laden car outside a military site [belonging to the Tobruk-based government] in al-Laithi district” south of the port city, the Anadolu Agency quoted Military commander Fadl al-Hasi as saying.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the Tuesday attack.
UN brokered peace talks
The incident followed on the heels of a six-point UN proposal aimed at ending such bloodshed in the country at meetings in Tripoli and Tobruk, where the two rival sides are based.
The proposals highlight the formation of a unity government headed by a president and a presidential council of independent figures, along with a parliament representative of all Libyans and a high state council.
“There is a chance that we can make progress and have the first names for a unity government this week," said UN Special Envoy to Libya Bernardino Leon.
