Islamic State in Libya kills two in drive-by on South Korean embassy

TRIPOLI, Libya, April 12 (UPI) -- Militants killed at least two people and wounded another in a drive-by shooting outside the South Korean embassy in Libya's capital on Sunday, according to officials.

Gunmen shot from a moving car at a security outpost just past midnight, killing one guard and a civilian. Another guard was wounded. No South Koreans were killed in the incident, and the embassy was empty at the time, according to the South Korean Foreign Ministry.

A Libyan affiliate of Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.

Majlis Shura Shabab al-Islam, or "The Islamic Youth Shura Council," which originally formed in April 2014, declared allegiance to IS and seized the city of Derna on Libya's northeastern Mediterranean coast last November, saying it was now a part of the IS caliphate.

Since then the group has claimed credit for a series of publicized executions and attacks, including against the Algerian embassy in January and the Iranian embassy in February -- both of which were based in Tripoli and had been abandoned.

On September 11, 2012, Islamic militants attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

The gunmen opened fire on the embassy compound from a passing car, killing two people and wounding a third, a Libyan interior ministry spokesman told AFP.

A security source at the location said the two dead were both Libyan guards, adding that while the embassy had been closed for several months, South Korean officials were continuing to use it.

But Mabruk Abu Zaheir, another official at the interior ministry, told the LANA news agency that one guard and a civilian at the scene were killed and a second guard seriously wounded.

The foreign ministry in Seoul confirmed the attack, saying three South Koreans working in the embassy including two diplomats were unhurt.

It also said two Libyan guards were among the dead.

We do not know whether the attack targeted the embassy or the Libyan (security) officers, a ministry official told AFP on condition of anonymity, adding that it was considering evacuating all its staffers from the country.

An AFP photographer at the scene of the attack said a vehicle used by the security guards was riddled with bullet holes, while it appeared that the main embassy building had not been hit.

IS claimed responsibility for the attack on Twitter, according to SITE Intelligence Group.

The Soldiers of the Caliphate in the city of Tripoli killed two of the guards at the South Korean embassy, the monitoring group quoted IS as saying on Twitter.
