(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) NEIGHBOUR, BASHEER QADOUSH, SAYING: "We heard a huge explosion around two-thirty in the morning in the area near the house of Hashim Basheer, we are his neighbours. The blast was very strong and I think it echoed as far as Tajura neighbourhood. They say it was a car bomb. " The security situation has sharply deteriorated in Tripoli in the past few months. Libya is facing a political crisis as the outgoing premier refuses to hand over power to the new Libyan Prime Minister Ahmed Maiteeq, elected by parliament last month.
