| [Libya Observer] Violent festivities erupted Monday dawn in Libya's capital, Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , between armed brigades of the Presidential Council government. According to sources from Abu Salim area, where the festivities took place, the fighting was between Central Security Brigade (Ghaniwa Brigade) and the Eighth Force (Al-Nawasi Brigade.) Both are under the umbrella of Interior Ministry in Tripoli. The sources said that the two gangs fought over an armed vehicle. Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella opened her mouth at precisely the wrong moment... eyewitnesses in Tripoli said the violent festivities were heard clearly in different areas around Abu Salim, down town the capital. No reports about injuries and deaths have been published. In the meantime, calm has descended on the festivities' area since the early Monday morning, but damage to cars and houses as well as shops were seen in the aftermath. Tripoli has seen intermittent festivities more than once over the last period. |
