(35 minutes later)
At least 22 people have been killed and more injured by a double car bombing in Libya. A double car bombing in Libya has left at least 22 people dead and 30 wounded, including senior security figures. 
The explosions struck in the eastern city of Benghazi, in the central Al Salmani district, as worshippers were leaving a mosque after evening prayers. The first explosion struck outside a mosque in the eastern city of Benghazi, in the central Al Salmani district, as worshipers were leaving evening prayers.
Around 10 to 15 minutes later, after security and health officials had arrived on the scene, a second more powerful blast was detonated from a Mercedes parked on the opposite side of the street.
The second blast also hit an ambulance and caused a higher number of casualties than the first.
The victims include both military personnel and civilians, officials have said.
One of the men killed was Ahmed al-Feitouri of the investigation and arrest unit attached to the general command of east Libyan security forces.
An intelligence official, Mahdi al-Fellah, was wounded.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the attack. 
Benghazi was the scene of more than three years of conflict from 2014 until late last year, as forces loyal to eastern-based commander Khalifa Haftar battles Islamists and other opponents.
Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA) claimed control of its rivals' final hold on the port city in December.
There have however been occasional bomb attacks in Benghazi in recent months, often outside mosques.
The fighter in Benghazi was part of a broader conflict that developed in Libya after former ruler Muammar Gaddafi was removed from power and killed in a NATO-backed uprising in 2011.
