Airstrike hits migrant detention center in Libya, killing at least 40

An airstrike late Tuesday hit a detention center for mainly African migrants near the Libyan capital of Tripoli, killing at least 40 people and wounding 80, Reuters reports, citing a health official.

The big picture: There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the Tripoli-based government blamed the Libyan National Army and called for the UN to investigate, per AP. The oil-and-gas-producing country has been in turmoil since the 2011 NATO-backed overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi, per Reuters. Libya has become a key springboard for migrants trying to travel to Europe, the BBC notes.

This article has been updated with more details, including comment from the Tripoli-based government.

The only survivor of a fatal shooting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during protests last year has accused law enforcement in a lawsuit of conspiring with a "band of white nationalist vigilantes," the Washington Post reported Saturday.

Of note: Kyle Rittenhouse, 18, is due to stand trial on Nov. 1, accused of wounding Gaige Grosskreutz, who filed the suit, and killing two other people protesting the police shooting of Jacob Blake on Aug. 25, 2020. He's pleaded not guilty to charges including homicide and attempted homicide and maintains he fired in self-defense.

COVID-19 is the leading cause of death for police officers even though members of law enforcement were among the first to be eligible to receive the vaccine, CNN reports, citing data from the Officer Down Memorial Page.

Why it matters: Nearly 476 police officers have died of COVID-19 since the pandemic started, compared to the 93 deaths as a result of gunfire in the same time period, according to ODMP and CNN.
