TRIPOLI – Three men stormed a factory in Tripoli, doused a Nigerian worker in petrol, and set him on fire, according to a statement by the Libyan interior ministry, in a new reported attack on migrants in the north African country.

The United Nations has described the man’s death “another senseless crime against migrants in the country.”

A statement by Tripoli’s interior ministry on Wednesday said the suspects – all Libyan nationals – had been detained for the attack on the man. (CNN)
