Heavy fighting rocks Libyan capital as rival militia battle

[News Manager]

By Ghaith Shennib and Ulf Laessing TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Anti-aircraft gunfire and grenade blasts erupted in several parts of Tripoli late on Thursday, the second time this week that fighting between rival militia groups has rocked the Libyan capital. A security source told Reuters that a heavily-armed group from the central city of Misrata had entered the capital to take revenge for one of its fighters who was killed in a shootout in Tripoli on Tuesday. Two years after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, militia that helped oust him now control large part of the North African country and regularly fight each other. Three people were wounded and one, a leader of a Misrata militia, later died - prompting the revenge attack, the source said.

NATO still did the right thing Gaddafi was a lunatic that sorely needed a bullet, just because the outcome is far from perfect doesn't mean the action wasn't justified.
