A damaged car is seen in front of the Russian embassy, a day after it came under attack in the Libyan capital Tripoli on October 3. A group of people also tried to force their way into the compound, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. Diplomatic sources in Libya said security guards fired shots to disperse the group of about 60 people that had approached the embassy. An attempt to enter the building was repelled and according to the Foreign Ministry no diplomats were wounded. Reuters/Ismail Zitouny
