Libyan TV station attacked for second time in week

TRIPOLI, Feb 18 (AFP): Gunmen fired rocket-propelled grenades at the Tripoli headquarters of private television channel Alassema on Tuesday without causing any casualties, a station official said, in the second such attack in a week.
The station's director Atef al-Ghanmi said attackers in a building across the street from Alassema fired the RPGs, damaging the channel's headquarters. Guards opened fire at the group, forcing them to flee, he added.
The attack is the latest in a string targeting media outlets in Libya, where private networks and newspapers have sprung up in the aftermath of the 2011 uprising that ousted and killed dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
