At least 25 people were killed and 30 wounded Friday in a triple bombing in an eastern Libyan town close to the Takfiris’ stronghold of Derna, medical and security sources said.

The simultaneous bombings targeted police headquarters in Al-Qoba, as well as the home of the speaker of Libya's internationally recognized parliament and a petrol station, the sources said.

Al-Qoba is just 30 kilometers (20 miles) west of Derna, where Egypt launched air strikes against Takfiris targets on Monday in retaliation for a gruesome ISIL group video showing the beheading of 21 Christians.

Medics said parliament speaker Aguila Salah Issa was not at home at the time of the bombings.

They said the majority of the casualties were at the petrol station where a long queue of motorists had been waiting to fill up.

Libya's recognized parliament has been based in the town of Tobruk, farther east along the coast close to the Egyptian border, since an extremist militia alliance seized the capital last August and installed a rival parliament and government.
