A young man is in a critical condition after setting himself on fire outside the Libyan embassy in Berlin, a German police spokesperson said on Friday.
The man, nearly 25 years old and perhaps of Tunisian origin, seemingly had private disagreements with the embassy staff. He poured a bottle of lamp oil on himself, and while embassy security staff were calling the police, he set himself ablaze.
The police mentioned, “According to our initial investigations it seems there is no political motive for this self-harm, rather it appears to stem from a disagreement over the payments of compensation.”
A police spokesman said further about this incident, “A man came to the front of the Libyan embassy with a bottle of lamp oil.
The security guards knew this man already, and there have been previous disagreements over his demands for money from the embassy.”
