BENGHAZI — Attackers fired rockets at eastern Libya's Labraq airport on Saturday, an airport source said, targeting one of the oil producer's few functioning air hubs in a country gripped by violence. Labraq has become the main gateway into eastern Libya since Benghazi airport stopped working in May due to fighting. Labraq is located near Bayda, the seat of internationally recognized Prime Minister Abdullah Al-Thinni since he had to flee the capital Tripoli when it was taken over by an armed group in August which set up a rival government and parliament. Helicopters took off from Labraq on Friday hours after the suicide bombings to attack militant targets in Derna, according to a military source. — Reuters
