Fighters from Libya's Shield brigades linked to Misrata City clashed with rival militias from the mountain town of Zintan, who control the international airport in the capital of Tripoli, on Wednesday. According to Shield fighters, 17 people were killed and 31 injured on both sides in the clashes. The Tripoli battles are part of an extensive Islamist extremist backlash after Islamist factions lost power in recent parliamentary elections.
