Armed clashes have broken out between rival military groups in Tripoli after Libya’s intelligence headquarters was targeted by rocket propelled grenades, says Al Arabiya TV.
At least five people have been injured and the building has been partially destroyed, RT's Paula Slier reports.
The attack comes just days after some 100 civilians and self-proclaimed rebels broke into the Libyan National General Congress, forcing the parliament to postpone a vote on a new cabinet.
More than a year after Muammar Gaddafi`s regime was dismantled, the country is still torn by clashes between armed militias, with the current government failing to restrain them.
Another problem is Libyan fragmentation, with numerous tribes confronting one another. On Saturday several thousand Libyans rallied for autonomy of the east, which has vast oil resources.
