TRIPOLI (Reuters) - A convoy carrying the prime minister of Libya's U.N.-backed government and the two leaders of an allied parliament and presidential guard came under fire in Tripoli on Monday, but none of the three men were harmed, officials said.

A spokesman for the U.N.-backed government, Ashraf Tulty, said the motorcade had been hit by gunfire as it passed through Tripoli's Abu Salim district. It was unclear who was behind the shooting or whether it was a targeted attack, he said.
