Two Libyan security guards were killed when gunmen fired shots at the South Korean embassy in the capital of Tripoli on Sunday, South Korean and Libyan officials said. Militants allegedly affiliated to the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack, according to a statement on social media. However, this has not been confirmed. Gunmen fired upon the embassy compound from a passing vehicle, killing two security officers and wounding another, Tripoli security spokesman Essam Naas said. The officers were Libyan government employees. A South Korean foreign ministry official in Seoul said there were no Korean casualties in the attack, adding the embassy was staffed by two foreign service officials and one administrative staff member. South Korea is one of the few countries which still has an embassy in Tripoli, Reuters reports. Libyan militants loyal to the Islamic State have claimed several high-profile attacks on foreigners in Libya this year, including an assault on the Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli and the beheading of 21 Egyptian Christians, according to Reuters. ----------------------------------------­--------------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.
