Libyan interior minister says he survived assassination attempt
The security force involved in Fathi Bashagha's motorcade collision dispute the claim, saying the interior minister's men fired on them.
Fathi Bashagha, interior minister for eastern Libya’s United Nations-recognized government, allegedly survived an assassination attempt on Thursday, sources in his office told multiple news outlets.
Bashagha’s motorcade reportedly came under fire as it drove through Tripoli after the senior official met with Mustafa Sanalla, chair of Libya’s National Oil Corporation.
