One killed and planes destroyed in airport rocket attack
At least one person was killed and 12 planes were damaged by rockets fired at Tripoli airport in Libya.
Six other people were injured in the attack, which happened a day after fighting forced the airport to close.
A security source told the BBC that the airport was attacked by a "large number of rockets, including Grad rockets" on Monday evening.
They said one person from the force protecting the airport had been killed and six others injured and that the control tower had been hit by rocket fire.
All flights to and from the airport have been suspended until at least Wednesday. British Airways cancelled today’s flight.
Government spokesman Ahmed Lamine said that 90% of the planes stationed at the airport had been destroyed.
