TRIPOLI, Libya

The acting commander of forces loyal to Libya’s interim government survived an assassination attempt on Wednesday in the Libyan city of Benghazi, according to local media reports.

The private Al-Naba television channel reported that the convoy of Abdulrazek al-Nazouri, military chief-of-staff for the interim government, had struck a roadside bomb, injuring at least two passengers.

Al-Nazouri emerged from the incident unscathed, according to the broadcaster.
