The Guardian: Bomb kills dozens at Libyan police training centre

Apparent suicide attack strikes western town of Zliten, with bomb reportedly on fuel tanker driven into group of cadets

Dozens of people have been killed in an apparent suicide bombing at a police training centre in the western Libyan town of Zliten.

The bomb was on board a fuel tanker, which was driven into a large group of coastguard and police cadets gathering for their morning assembly, according to the Libya Herald.

A Zliten hospital spokesman told Associated Press that 60 bodies had been pulled from the wreckage, though Fozi Awnais, from the health ministry in Tripoli, later said 47 people had died and 118 more were injured.
