TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Revolutionary fighters clashed with national
army troops near Tripoli's airport, leaving one person dead, officials
said Sunday. The violence reflects the difficulties Libya's new leaders
face as they try to stamp their authority on the disparate militias that
overthrew Moammar Gadhafi.
Army spokesman Sgt. Abdel-Razik
el-Shibahy said fighters from the western mountain town of Zintan, who
control Tripoli's international airport, opened fire on two occasions on
Saturday on the convoy of Gen. Khalifa Hifter, the commander of the
fledgling national army.
