EU foreign policy chief condemns bomb attack in Libya

Xinhua, January 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy Federica Mogherini on Thursday issued an official statement to condemn the suicide bombing in Libya.

A truck bomb killed dozens of people and injured over 100 others on Thursday at a police training camp east of Libya's capital Tripoli, local security sources said.

"Once again Libya has been targeted by terrible violence, once again the Libyans are mourning victims of an attack," the EU foreign policy chief said in the statement.

Mogherini also expressed the urgent need for unity in Libya through the implementation of the Libyan Political Agreement reached last December.

She said: "The quick implementation of the Libyan Political Agreement will be instrumental, so that a Government of National Accord can be established as soon as possible, to defend all Libyan citizens."

"It will also help preserve Libya's resources, defeat terrorists that want to undermine Libya's prosperity, and restore stability and security throughout the country," Mogherini added. Endit
