TUNIS: The European Union鈥檚 foreign policy chief has unveiled a 100 million euro ($109 million) aid package for Libya鈥檚 fledgling unity government.
Federica Mogherini announced the aid deal at a joint press conference with Libyan Prime Minister Fayez Sarraj in Tunis, the capital of neighboring Tunisia, where the unity government is temporarily based.
Mogherini condemned Thursday鈥檚 mass killing of officers and called security 鈥渢he greatest challenge Libya faces.鈥�
An affiliate of the Daesh extremist group in eastern Libya claimed responsibility for the attack in Zliten, when an attacker detonated a truck bomb beside a police training center.
Mogherini, who spent Friday in talks with senior Libyan officials, said EU nations would offer Libya 鈥渢echnical and logistical鈥� support for battling extremists, but no troops on the ground.
Libya slid into chaos following the 2011 toppling and killing of former ruler Muammar Qaddafi.
Meanwhile, a major power plant in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi was attacked by militants, an army commander and a plant employee said on Saturday.
