TRIPOLI, Libya A Libyan official says a bomb placed in a garbage bin targeted the Moroccan Embassy in the capital, Tripoli. There were no casualties in the attack, which was claimed by Libya's Islamic State affiliate.
Security spokesman Essam al-Naas says the bomb went off early Monday. Morocco condemned the attack and called for an investigation.
Libya's branch of the Islamic State group said in a statement on its Twitter account that "soldiers of the caliphate" targeted the building but gave no motive. It also posted several photographs of the embassy, including one of an empty street at night and another showing flames caused by the explosion.
The same group claimed responsibility for an attack on the South Korean Embassy in Tripoli early on Sunday, which killed one guard and one passer-by.

TRIPOLI, Libya, April 12 (UPI) -- Militants killed at least two people and wounded another in a drive-by shooting outside the South Korean embassy in Libya's capital on Sunday, according to officials.
Gunmen shot from a moving car at a security outpost just past midnight, killing one guard and a civilian. Another guard was wounded. No South Koreans were killed in the incident, and the embassy was empty at the time, according to the South Korean Foreign Ministry.
A Libyan affiliate of Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.
Majlis Shura Shabab al-Islam, or "The Islamic Youth Shura Council," which originally formed in April 2014, declared allegiance to IS and seized the city of Derna on Libya's northeastern Mediterranean coast last November, saying it was now a part of the IS caliphate.
Since then the group has claimed credit for a series of publicized executions and attacks, including against the Algerian embassy in January and the Iranian embassy in February -- both of which were based in Tripoli and had been abandoned.
On September 11, 2012, Islamic militants attacked the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
