BENGHAZI Libya (Reuters) - Libya's central bank on Tuesday warned all parties involved in the conflict gripping the country to leave the institution alone as its violation could prompt the international community to freeze Libya's foreign assets again.

The central bank is one of the last functioning state institutions in the North African country where armed groups seized the capital Tripoli last month. The government and elected parliament have relocated to a remote eastern city.
