Libya's state news agency says gunmen have stolen $54m in an attack on a van carrying foreign and local currency for the Libyan central bank.

Ten men stopped the van as it entered the city of Sirte from the airport. The cash delivery had been flown 300 miles (500km) from the capital, Tripoli.

"The robbery is a catastrophe for the whole of Libya," Abdel-Fattah Mohammed, head of Sirte council, said.
