Tripoli (AFP) - Dozens of soldiers and armoured vehicles deployed Monday on the streets of the Libyan capital after deadly weekend clashes sparked by an anti-militia protest, an AFP correspondent and witnesses said.
"A number of units of the national army are about to enter the city of Tripoli from several areas in order to secure it," the government said in a statement.
