Amateur video captured the aftermath of the blast near a police station in the Libyan capital Saturday.

Authorities said a Tunisian national was injured but there were no reported fatalities.

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) COMMANDER OF TRIPOLI'S INVESTIGATIVE OFFICE, ABDELATY HASSAN, SAYING:

"There is no damage inside the building, there are no casualties, thank God. We are working on the investigation to figure out who is responsible and God willing we are looking forward to good news."

There have been several violent incidents, mostly outside the capital, as Libya attempts to restore security after the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime last year.
