Tripoli

Calm returned to Tripoli on Sunday after clashes between an armed brigade and the land forces of the Libyan National Army contesting control over the capital’s airport late Saturday.

The clashes left three men from the Libyan army dead and one fighter was killed while three others from al-Zintan brigade were wounded.


The gunbattle broke out overnight when armed men in the vehicles of Libya’s new national army tried to take control of Tripoli’s international airport from militia men, the commander of the airport’s security force said on Sunday.


On Sunday, the road leading to the airport was opened.
