Rival Libyan militias battled for control the capital's international airport Sunday, fighting that killed at least three people, a security official said. According to AP, the weeklong fight over the airport is being waged by a powerful militia from the western city of Zintan, which controls the facility, and militias, including fighters from Misrata, east of Tripoli. The clashes resumed early Sunday after cease-fire efforts failed. A security official said the fighting killed two militiamen from Misrata and a civilian who died when a stray rocket hit his house. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
