Statement on Sebha attack
3 MINUTE READ
June 7, 2021

 

The United States strongly condemns the attack in Sebha that claimed the lives of at least two Criminal Investigation Division officers, Captain Ibrahim Abdel Nabi Mana’ Khayali and Lieutenant Abbas Abubakr Ali Asherif, on Sunday.  As we await more detail regarding the deadly explosion, we are reminded that there are forces determined to undermine stability and unity in Libya.  We will stand with those committed to building a more peaceful and prosperous future for Libya, including by holding elections in December, unifying the country’s institutions, countering terrorism, and working toward full implementation of the ceasefire agreement.
