A gunbattle broke out overnight when armed men in the vehicles of Libya's new national army tried to take control of Tripoli's international airport from a powerful militia, the commander of the airport's security force said on Sunday.
It was the latest in a series of clashes between the rival militias which, in the absence of a fully-functioning central government, have wielded real power on the streets in Libya since a revolt forced out former leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Mukhtar Al-Akhdar, commander of a militia unit from Zintan, south-west of Tripoli, which controls the international airport, told Reuters a convoy of vehicles approached a checkpoint about 3 km from the airport.
He said the armed men in the convoy said they had come to take over security, and a gunfight then broke out.
"No one was killed. We have only two people injured on our side," Al-Akhdar said.

Pesa za Gaddaffi?
Senior figures in Libya's new leadership have written a letter to the United Nations asking it to release funds still frozen three months after the country's civil war ended, the central bank chief said on Saturday.
When a rebellion broke out in February against the rule of Muammar Gaddafi, the U.N. Security Council froze Libyan assets estimated at $150 billion, but the bulk of that sum remains beyond the reach of the new Libyan rulers.
Frustration at the delay has been growing inside Libya, where the interim government says it urgently needs the cash to pay the wages of public sector workers and to start re-building state institutions.
The letter, sent on Thursday, was meant to offer reassurance to U.N. member states which had expressed doubts the new Libyan leadership was united and cohesive enough to be trusted with the cash, Central Bank Governor Saddeq Omar Elkaber told Reuters.

Rival militias in an area south-west of the Libyan capital exchanged heavy gunfire on Monday after a dispute flared up between them that local residents said had killed at least four people.
The conflict, rooted in an old tribal rivalry, is one of the hundreds of faultlines running through Libyan society that have left the new rulers struggling to hold the country together since the overthrow of former leader Muammar Gaddafi.
Reuters journalists in Wamis, about 190 km (120 miles) from Tripoli, said the fighting was between members of the El-Mashasha tribe, based around the town, and fighters from the larger town of Zintan in the mountains to the north.
Shots, including from machine guns, could be heard and all men and boys in Wamis were carrying Kalashnikov rifles, they said.

Mungu ni wa rehema ndugu yangu ila kuna siku kipimo kitajaa na dunia itatikisika. Aliwapa wakanaani miaka 400+ ya kujirudi lakini hawakumrudia ndipo akaamuru waangamizwe wote. Watu hujaribu kumhukumu Mungu (shame on them) lakini Mungu ana haki. Iko siku hii empire ya uovu itahukumiwa.
Bad news ni kuwa itazidi kuwa ovu na kututenda maovu hata siku ya hukumu kuu ya Mungu. Things are going for worse! Not economically though but morally and in terms of loosing freedom!
Be still and Mark these words!
The U.N. Security Council lifted sanctions on Libya's central bank and a subsidiary on Friday, clearing the way for their overseas assets to be unfrozen to ease a cash crisis
The Central Bank of Libya and the Libyan Foreign Bank (LFB), an offshore institution wholly owned by the central bank, were taken off the council's sanctions list drawn up earlier this year amid civil war
After a rebellion broke out in February against leader Muammar Gaddafi, the Security Council froze Libyan assets abroad, estimated at $150 billion. Most of that sum has remained beyond the reach of the oil-rich country's new rulers.
Yet by late November only about $18 billion in seized assets had been released by special provisions of the Security Council's Libya sanctions committee, and diplomats said only about $3 billion of that had been made available to Tripoli.

Mkuu sijaelewa anachosema kwenye video lakini background pamoja na body language ni lazima wanailaani NATO, hata hivyo ukiangalia uharibifu waliofanya na wakati sababu ya kwenda ilikuwa kufanikisha a no fly zone, basi utaona there "some sort of injustices"
