CAIRO, July 3 (Reuters) - At least 44 people were killed and more than 130 wounded in an air strike on a migrant detention centre in the Libyan capital Tripoli, the U.N. mission to the country said on Wednesday.

U.N. Libya envoy Ghassan Salame condemned the attack, saying in a statement that the strike "clearly amounts to the level of a war crime". (Reporting by Omar Fahmy Writing by Aidan Lewis; Editing by Janet Lawrence)
