Over 30 people were killed and dozens wounded in two car bombings outside a mosque frequented by jihadist opponents, medical officials announced.

The attack in Libya's second city Benghazi after evening prayers on Tuesday underlined the continued chaos in the country that has been wracked by violence and divisions since dictator Muammar Gaddafi was toppled and killed in a 2011 NATO-backed uprising.
