LIBYA: Tripoli airport closes days after reopening
The only working airport in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, is out of action again, only days after it re-opened.
Rockets were fired in the direction of Mitiga International Airport late on Tuesday.
An armed faction controlling it said there were no casualties or damage, but flights are being diverted to Misrata, nearly 200km (120 miles) east of the capital.
The airport had only reopened on Friday following clashes between rival militias.
A ceasefire, brokered by the United Nations, had been signed by armed groups.
