The al Qubbah bombings occurred in Al Qubbah, Libya on February 20, 2015.

Events

Operatives loyal to the Islamic State group detonated three bombs in al-Qubbah, targeting a petrol station, a police station, and the home of President of the Libyan House of Representatives since 5 August 2014 (and effectively the country's parliamentary speaker) Aguila Saleh Issa.[1] These attacks reportedly killed at least 40 people.[1] Six Egyptians were identified among the fatalities in the attacks, and their bodies were repatriated to Egypt via the Sallum border crossing.[2]

ISIL said that the attacks were carried out in retaliation for the February 2015 Egyptian airstrikes in Libya.[3] The Egyptian Air Force had launched strikes following the kidnapping and beheading of 21 Copts in Libya in February 2015.

The U.S. State Department,[4] the Misrata Municipality,[5] and New General National Congress (Libya Dawn)[6] condemned the attacks.
