Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, Prime Minister of Libya's Government of National Unity, has ordered an investigation into the death of a teenage basketball fanThe prime minister of Libya's Government of National Unity has ordered an investigation after the death of a teenage basketball fan shot in the head at a top-flight match in Tripoli. Abdul Mohimen Al-Falah was fatally injured on Monday in a disturbance outside the arena following the Libyan Basketball League play-off between Al Ittihad and Al Ahly Benghazi. His funeral is expected to take place on Saturday while fellow Al Ittihad supporters are set to gather at the stadium to pay their own respects. Despite the country's ongoing security crisis, which has seen a proliferation of firearms, the Libyan Basketball Federation is one of the few sports organisations that allows spectators to attend games. The federation has now postponed all fixtures until next week while Al Ittihad used social media to announce the suspension of all club activities for three days.
