Libya’s Ministry of Interior announced in a statement on Wednesday that Tunisian authorities have arrested two people believed to be implicated in the assassination attempt on Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah’s adviser, Abdulmajid Elmlegta.
“Libyan Minister of Interior, Imad Mustafa Trabelsi, extends his thanks and appreciation to his Tunisian counterpart, Khaled Al Nouri, for the full co-operation in the pursuit and arrest of those wanted by the intelligence services for their implication in the … attempted assassination of Abdulmajid Elmlegta,” the ministry said in a statement on its official Facebook page.
Libya’s Tripoli-based Public Prosecutor’s Office had previously announced in July that security forces were able to thwart an assassination attempt against Mr Elmlegta.
The perpetrators reportedly detonated a car bomb that was placed in his path on Tripoli’s Third Ring Road.
Investigations revealed that four people were implicated, including two members of the National Security Department of Libya’s Intelligence Services.
Libya’s Al Radaa Forces for Countering Terrorism and Organised Crime were initially able to arrest the two main suspects in the assassination attempt.
The remaining two people fled to Tunisia before their arrest this week, thanks to co-ordinated effort between the two neighbouring North African countries, the Arab Criminal Police Office and Interpol.
The Libyan Ministry of Interior also indicated in its statement that it has made an agreement with Tunisian authorities to extradite and hand over the detainees to Libyan authorities.

Four motivational quotes from Alicia's Dubai talk
“The only thing we need is to know that we have faith. Faith and hope in our own dreams. The belief that, when we keep going we’re going to find our way. That’s all we got.”
“Sometimes we try so hard to keep things inside. We try so hard to pretend it’s not really bothering us. In some ways, that hurts us more. You don’t realise how dishonest you are with yourself sometimes, but I realised that if I spoke it, I could let it go.”
“One good thing is to know you’re not the only one going through it. You’re not the only one trying to find your way, trying to find yourself, trying to find amazing energy, trying to find a light. Show all of yourself. Show every nuance. All of your magic. All of your colours. Be true to that. You can be unafraid.”
“It’s time to stop holding back. It’s time to do it on your terms. It’s time to shine in the most unbelievable way. It’s time to let go of negativity and find your tribe, find those people that lift you up, because everybody else is just in your way.”
