After detention centre massacre in air strike near Tripoli

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Rome, July 4 - Libya is weighing freeing all migrants from detention centres after the massacre at Tajoura Wednesday, because their safety can no longer be guaranteed, Interior Minister Fathi Bashagha said Thursday.
    The United Nations has called for an independent inquiry into the bombing of the Libyan migrant detention centre that left at least 44 dead and more than 130 severely injured, describing the attack as "a war crime and odious bloody carnage".
    The detention centre east of Tripoli was housing more than 610 people when it was hit by two airstrikes.
    Libya's UN-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) and the Italian interior minister, Matteo Salvini, blamed the bombing on the air force of eastern Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar, who launched an offensive on the Libyan capital months ago.
