Libya PM Office Attacked By Gunmen In Tripoli -- BBC
At least two security officials have been killed after ex-rebels attacked the office of the Libyan prime minister in the capital, Tripoli.
A witness said pick-up trucks mounted with anti-aircraft guns surrounded the building and a gun battle ensued.
