Foreign Office withdraws some embassy staff from Libya
The UK has withdrawn some embassy staff in Libya in response to "ongoing political uncertainty", the Foreign Office says.
The UK embassy remains ‘open as usual’, including for consular and visa services.
But the Foreign Office said it was temporarily withdrawing a "small number" who work with Libyan ministries.
Armed militias have recently been preventing access to ministry buildings in a bid to highlight their political demands.
Last month a car bomb exploded outside the French embassy in Tripoli, wounding two French guards and several residents.
The Foreign Office currently advises against all but essential travel to Tripoli and against all travel to other parts of Libya, such as the eastern city of Benghazi.
