Lebanese Diaspora asks for evacuation from Libya

The state-run National News Agency said on Thursday it has received phone calls from the Lebanese Diaspora in Libya, asking the Lebanese authorities to facilitate their evacuation in light of the deteriorating security situation there.

Heavy shelling resumed on Thursday in southern Tripoli where rival militia brigades were battling for control of the capital's main airport in some of the worst clashes since the 2011 revolt which ousted Muammar Gaddafi.

Around 200 people have been killed since the clashes erupted two weeks ago in the capital and also in the eastern city of Benghazi, where a coalition of Islamist militants and former rebels have overrun a major army base in the city.
