Gunfire and tanks in Tripoli tonight |
2016-04-17 |
Tripoli was tense tonight with reports of heavy gunfire and the movement of two tanks through Hay Andalous. Coming on top of this evening’s attack on a house belonging to Presidency Council member Ahmed Maetig and the dawn assault on the home of former GNC politician Juma Sayeh it appears that militias for and against the PC are coming into conflict. Unconfirmed social media reports assert that two tanks, which were photographed in Hay Andalous, moved on to the former Girls’ Military Academy on the Suq Al-Tahlat roundabout, which is the base of the militia of Misratan Salah Badi. They are reported to have taken up defensive positions outside the base, where earlier there had been gunfire. Meanwhile, further to the west in Gurgi, there was said to be particularly heavy gunfire and the roundabout there had been blocked off. There were also reports of firing near the city centre. |
