TRIPOLI: At least 16 people were killed and 52 wounded in fighting between armed groups in Tripoli, the health ministry said on Saturday, following the latest politically driven violence to hit the Libyan capital. The fighting began on Thursday night and extended into Friday afternoon. The clashes were between two armed groups with major clout in the west of the war-torn country: the Al-Radaa force and the Tripoli Revolutionaries Brigade. Several sources said one group´s detention of a fighter belonging to the other had sparked the fighting, which extended to several districts of the capital. "All the wounded received medical care in hospitals" in Tripoli, the health ministry said in a statement.
