Air strikes carried out on Tripoli airport - military

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Forces loyal to Libya´s internationally recognised government carried out air strikes on a Tripoli airport on Wednesday, hitting an open area near the runway, but causing no major damage, a military spokesman and a source at the airport said.

The strike came after warplanes from the rival government controlling Tripoli attacked an airport in the western town of Zintan.

Libya is caught in a conflict between two rival governments who are battling for control of the North African country and its oil resources.
