Islamist militia resumed their assault on Libya´s main international airport in Tripoli earlier today, two days after an abortive truce with the rival former rebels that control it, a security official said.
“The airport was attacked this morning with mortar rounds, rockets and tank fire,” airport security told the media. “It was the most intense bombardment so far.”
Islamist militia first attacked the airport last Sunday, forcing a halt to all flights. Their continued offensive has caused extensive damage to planes and airport infrastructure.
