In Libya, at least 35 people were killed, while 50 others were injured following a double car bombing in the eastern city of Benghazi. 

According to authorities, the first blast struck outside a Mosque as worshipers were leaving after evening prayers.

Some 10 to 15 minutes later, a second and more powerful bomb was detonated close to the first blast site after security and health officials arrived.

An ambulance was caught in the explosion .

According to health officials, the death toll may rise as some of the wounded were in critical condition. 

No group has yet to claim responsibility for the attack.

The twin explosions shattered the relative calm that had recently returned to the country's second city, that saw more than three years of warfare from 2014 until late last year.
