Officials say the explosion early Tuesday at the embassy in the Hay Andalus area of Tripoli wounded two guards and caused extensive damage. The Libyan Foreign Ministry calls the attack a "terrorist" incident.
French President Francois Hollande says his government expects Libyan authorities to help make the circumstances of the attack clear in order to bring those responsible to justice.
He also says the bombing targets all countries involved in fighting terrorism.
Libya has struggled with instability and violence since the ouster of long-time dictator Moammar Gadhafi in late 2011.
An attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi last September killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
