Britain has warned of a "potential threat" to its embassy in the Libyan capital Tripoli, days after the Foreign Office urged British nationals to leave Benghazi.

"We're aware of a potential threat to the British embassy in Tripoli and we are liaising closely with the Libyan government," a Foreign Office spokesman said.
The Foreign Office, which already warns against "all but essential travel" to the Libyan capital, said its travel advice remained unchanged
Libyan officials said they were not aware of such reports, cited by the embassy.
"The British embassy has not informed us of any threats towards it and there has been no coordination between us," Omar al-Khadrawi, the deputy interior minister, told Reuters.
The warning comes a day after the Foreign Office said British citizens were facing a “specific threat” in northern Somalia, and should leave the region immediately.

It also comes two weeks after militants launched a bold attack on a BP gas facility at In Amenas, close to the Libyan border. A four-day standoff was ended by an Algerian army assault. In all at least 37 workers at the plant died, including six Britons, along with 29 hostage-takers.
On Sunday night, two security guards protecting a gas pipeline were killed and seven others wounded in an attack southwest of the Algerian capital, as Islamist terrorists once again targeted the country’s vital oil and gas industry.
Militants from al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb launched a series of homemade rockets towards a pipeline that runs north from the Sahara desert’s Hassi R’Mel field.
The largest in Algeria and the second largest gas field in the world, most of its product passes through coastal cities and on to southern Europe.
Army units were alerted and searched for the attackers in vain around Ain Chikh, on the southern edge of the Kabylie mountain region that has become the last hideout of al-Qaeda’s branch in northern Algeria.
