A massive explosion rocked police training camp in Libya Zliten
today. The explosion went off around 8:00 am when around 400 recruits were
doing their morning exercises.
Reports claim a truck bomb went off in the gate of Coast Guard Training
Camp which is located on the coastal road in Souq Tolata area, causing a
loud sound that was heard in Misrata, 60 km to the east of the city.
There were no official figures for the casualties, but news sources put the
number of dead people at 40. Misrata Municipality confirmed the arrival of 30
wounded to the city's central hospital, which sent an urgent call to
local residents for blood donation.
The Ministry of Health declared a state of emergency in Tripoli and
Misrata hospitals to receive and treat victims.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but the blast bore the
hallmarks of ISIS. Unconfirmed reports have said school children walking
past the camp were among those dead.
