Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham

The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Sunday condemned the explosion of a handmade bomb in front of former Iranian ambassador’s residence in Tripoli, Libya, saying that the terrorist attack had not caused casualties, or major damage.

‘We have precise information indicating that the explosion of a handmade bomb in front of the residence of the former Iranian ambassador in Tripoli only led to trivial material damage,’ said Marzieh Afkham Sunday evening.

She said that Iran is following up the situation in Libya and opposes foreign interference in the North African country.

The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the problematic developments in that country must be resolved through holding national dialogues.

The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said that the Libyan political parties are required to develop national reconciliation to establish a national unity government in Libya, something which will block the path for the activities of the terrorists and the extremists.
