At least nine people including guests were killed in a partial take-over of the Corinthia Hotel Tripoli by a number of terrorists today.

Those killed include French, American, South Korean and Filipino nationals.
...
Affiliates of Islamic State were said to have claimed responsibility in a tweet, saying they had occupied the hotel to kill diplomats.

However the Corinthia spokesman said no senior diplomats are known to have been staying at the hotel.

The 'Isis' claim was also disputed by observers, who pointed out that the intended target may have been (Islamist-leaning) 'Prime Minister' Omar Hasi, who is not recognised by the international community. Some media outlets claimed he was in the hotel a short time before the attack - a claim which a Corinthia spokesman said was incorrect.
...
The attack was condemned by Malta's Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which expressed solidarity with the victims and the Corinthia Group.

"We also pray for the safety and security of all the people there and for the Maltese workers and businessmen and the staff of the Corinthia Hotels. May God be their protector."

The community said they also hoped and prayed for the peace and security of Libya.
