A truck-bomb attack on a police training centre in a western town in Libya has killed at least 65 people, according to hospital and police officials.
Witnesses said on Thursday the truck crashed into the gate of the police academy in the coastal city of Zliten, about 160km east of the capital, Tripoli.
Zliten Mayor Miftah Lahmadi told Reuters news agency the truck exploded as hundreds of recruits were gathering at the academy.
The UN Special representative to Libya, Martin Kobler, said the blast was a suicide attack.
No one has claimed responsibility for the assault.
Libyan news agency LANA, meanwhile, reported at least 50 people died. The news agency quoted the director of the town’s hospital, Abdel-Motleb bin Halim, saying 127 had been wounded.
