Libya: Gunmen attack hotel
"At least two gunmen stormed the Corinthia Hotel and opened fire in the reception area," BBC reported.
A car bomb also blasted outside the hotel.
A security source told the BBC that one gunman had been arrested, and that another two attackers were still inside the hotel.
It was not immediately clear whether there were casualties following the attack on the hotel which is popular with foreigners.
An online group that supports ISIS said online that the attack was carried out in the name of Abu Anas al-Libi, CNN reported.
