Benghazi: At least 4 people were killed and 33 others were wounded after two car bombs exploded on Thursday near a group of Libyan National Army leaders in Benghazi.

Two civilians and two soldiers were dead and wounded included civilians, army personnel and police.

The commander of LNA special forces and other seniors were gathered to attend the funeral service of a high-ranking military general.

None of the military leaders were killed or wounded.

Libya is split between two warring governments, the UN-recognized government led by Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj and Khalifa Hifter's self-styled Libyan National Army, supported by an array of militias.

Since April it has been fighting GNA forces in an attempt to take control of the capital Tripoli.
