Clashes between competing militias in Libya's capital on Friday killed at least 13 people despite calls for calm after violence first broke out the previous night, a spokesman for Tripoli's emergency services said.
It was the latest escalation to threaten the relative peace after nearly a decade of civil war in Libya, where two rival sets of authorities are locked in a political stalemate. The divisions have sparked several incidents of violence in Tripoli in recent months.
