Libya official: Renewed militia clashes in Tripoli kill 13

CAIRO (AP) — A Libyan medical official says that at least 13 people have been killed in renewed clashes between militias in the country’s capital, Tripoli. Osama Ali, spokesman for Tripoli’s emergency services, said that among those killed were three civilians from the area and a 12–year-old child. He said 30 people had been wounded. Earlier on Friday, one of Libya’s rival governments had called on militias to stop fighting, after clashes broke out overnight in Tripoli, killing at least one civilian and forcing around 200 people to flee the area. Libya has for years been split between rival administrations in the east and the west, each supported by various well-armed militias and foreign governments.
