Over 40 dead in Libya clashes

At least 43 people were killed in clashes between militia on the outskirts of Libya's capital city Tripoli.

Fighting broke out on Friday after protesters marched on the headquarters of a militia group from Misrata, demanding they leave Tripoli.

The Libyan government is struggling to contain powerful militias within the country.

AFP quotes Libyan Prime Minister Ali Zeidan as saying:
"The coming hours and days will be decisive for the history of Libya and the success of the revolution."
