Car bomb strikes Swedish consulate in Libya's Benghazi

A car bomb has exploded outside the Swedish consulate in Libya's second largest city of Benghazi, with no reported casualties, officials say. The front of the building and nearby houses were damaged in the attack in the upscale district of Fuwayhat.

The Swedish mission - one of the few diplomatic offices in Benghazi - was empty during the attack. [...] The car bomb was detonated by remote control on Friday, according to officials. No staff were injured in the attack as the embassy is usually closed on Fridays, says Swedish foreign ministry spokesman Ursula Ahlen. [...] Earlier this month, staff from the Russian embassy were evacuated after gunmen attacked its compound in Tripoli.
