The Ministry reaffirmed the Kingdom's “unequivocal
condemnation and denunciation of this heinous terrorist act, which seeks to
destabilize security and stability, while contradicting all religious and
humanitarian principles and values.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Kingdom
stands with the people of Libya against any threats to its security and
stability, and that it rejects all forms of violence, extremism, and terrorism,
no matter what its motives or causes were, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The Ministry also expressed its “earnest condolences and
heartfelt sympathy” to the government and the people of Libya, and to the
families of the victims, wishing the injured a quick recovery.
Two members of Libya's security forces were killed and five
others wounded Sunday evening in a car bomb blast at a checkpoint in the
country's south, a police source said, according the AFP.
"A car bomb exploded as it was crossing a roadblock set
up by the security forces" in the city of Sebha, a police official in the
city said.
Sebha is located around 750 kilometres south of the capital
Tripoli.
"Two security officers were killed, five others were
wounded and heavy material damage" was caused, the source said.
Local media showed images of badly damaged security force
vehicles surrounded by debris.
The Daesh group on Monday claimed responsibility for the
attack, AFP reported.
The extremist group, in a statement carried by its
propaganda arm Amaq, said one of its suicide operatives targeted a checkpoint
of the "militia of the tyrant Haftar," referring to Libya's military
strongman Khalifa Haftar.
