Nine killed in Libya hotel attack
The deceased included five foreigners.
The militants entered the Corinthia Hotel and opened fire while a car bomb blasted outside the hotel.
The stand-off has come to an end, reports said.
"A Twitter account linked to Islamic State said the militant group had carried out the attack," BBC reported.
The United Nations Security Council has also condemned in the strongest terms the deadly terrorist attack against the Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli, Libya, and underlined the need to bring the perpetrators, financiers and sponsors of such “reprehensible” acts to justice.
