"A bomb inside a bag went off near the gate of the Moroccan Embassy in the Bin Ashour area in central Tripoli," a local security official said on Monday. He added that no one was hurt in the bombing.
The sound of the explosion has been described as "very strong" by a witness, who said that the blast shook the building "for a few seconds."
Militants claiming loyalty to the Islamic State have reportedly said on Twitter that they were responsible for both attacks.
