TRIPOLI: At least three people were killed when suicide bombers attacked Libya’s foreign ministry in Tripoli on Tuesday, the health ministry said, with a security source saying the assailants were suspected to be Islamic State (IS) militants.

Three attackers opened fire on the building before two of them managed to get inside and blow themselves up. The other was killed by ministry guards, the source said.

Heavy smoke rose from the building which was surrounded by security forces as people were rushed to hospital. The health ministry said nine people were wounded.
