Armed group leader killed in clashes

OVERNIGHT clashes in Libya's capital killed at least six people, an emergency medical service said yesterday, with local media reporting that an armed group leader was among the dead.

Reporters heard heavy arms fire and explosions in several areas of the capital Tripoli from 9pm as violent clashes between rival armed groups rocked the city.

“Six bodies have been retrieved from the sites of clashes around Abu Salim” in Tripoli, the Emergency Medicine and Support Centre said.

Libya’s Al-Ahrar television and Al-Wasat news website said that Abdelghani al-Kikli, leader of the Support and Stability Apparatus, was killed.

The reports said he was likely ambushed in Abu Salim, a southern district of the capital where his influential armed group is based.

Authorities had urged residents to stay indoors before saying several hours later that the fighting had been brought under control.
