( CNN ) -- Libyan militia members have apparently turned the abandoned U.S. Embassy in Tripoli , Libya , into a water park , judging by amateur video posted to YouTube on Sunday . The video , which reflects the anarchy that currently reigns in Libya 's capital , shows fully clothed men diving into and swimming in a pool . Ambassador Deborah Jones , who is not currently in Libya , tweeted that the images appear to show a residential annex in the U.S. Embassy compound . But Jones said `` the U.S. Embassy Tripoli chancery & compound is now being safeguarded and has not been ransacked , '' and `` those who have actually visited the embassy know the truth . '' A spokesman for the General National Congress says the militias securing the U.S. Embassy compound are still there safeguarding it . `` The militias are under the command of the Libyan General Staff , and what happened was not an attack on the embassy grounds , nor was it an attempt to ransack its offices , '' Omar Hmaidan said . `` What happened ( the frolicking at the pool ) was an isolated behavior by some of those who were in charge of protecting the compound . We do n't condone it and we do n't accept it , '' he said . A senior State Department official said the United States is `` seeking additional details '' about the incident . `` At this point , we believe the Embassy compound itself remains secure but we continue to monitor the situation on the ground , which remains very fluid , '' the official said . Libya Dawn , an alliance of militias , reinstated the General National Congress this month as the country 's official parliament , despite international recognition of the new parliament elected in June . U.S diplomats evacuated Tripoli last month amidst heavy militia violence . CNN correspondent Jomana Karadsheh , who lived in Tripoli but had to evacuate weeks ago as well , says if true , the use of the empty embassy is no surprise . `` The fighting in Tripoli that erupted between militias in July and lasted for weeks was described by Libyan officials as 'unprecedented . ' Many homes in parts of Tripoli have been looted by and ransacked by different militia groups during the fighting , including as recently as last week , the home of Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thinni . '' Al-Thinni is not in Tripoli currently . The U.S. State Department had not responded to CNN requests for comment as of this article 's publication . CNN 's Ali Younes , Anna-Maja Rappard and Mark Morgenstein reported on this story from Atlanta .
