(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) The US on Thursday condemned what appeared to be an assassination attempt on the life of the Libyan Prime Minister Abdullah Al-Thani.
Al-Thani, who is recognized as the country's leader by the international community, was traveling with a motorcade in Tobruk when gunmen began shooting in his direction on Tuesday.
"We strongly condemn the attack ... which was a further effort to destabilize Libya and undermine the ongoing UN-facilitated Libyan political dialogue," State Department Spokesperson Jeff Rathke told reporters.
"We believe the United Nations-led process remains the best hope for Libyans to establish a national-unity government and to confront the violence and instability that impedes Libya's transition and development," he added.
