TRIPOLI, Jan 27 (Reuters) - Libyan security forces are surrounding a Tripoli luxury hotel where gunmen are holed up after launching a car bomb attack, a security spokesman said on Tuesday. "Three gunmen who are believed to have carried out a car explosion in the car park of the Corinthia hotel have been trapped by our security forces," Essam Naas said.

A luxury hotel is exactly where CIA, MEDIA and other government officials might have been staying.

Its said there is hostages and this this is Islamic State not some Libyan resistance.

I wonder how many they've got and if they'll start throwing them off the roof! :/
