Several Troops Wounded in Clash with Fugitives in Tripoli
Several soldiers were wounded in a clash with fugitives Tuesday in the northern city of Tripoli.
Al-Jadeed TV said seven troops were injured, one of them “very critically.”
The National News Agency said the fugitive Jihad Baltaji and several others holed themselves up in the office of caretaker Labor Minister Mohammed Kabbara.
Al-Jadeed identified the rest of the fugitives as Mohammed Kokolaki, Khaled Hmeidan (aka Abu Ali Lamaa), Shadi al-Zann and Abu Jaafar al-Nashar.
NNA said the area was still witnessing intermittent clashes and that the armed group hurled two hand grenades at the troops.
“The army fired back and threw a smoke grenade,” the agency added.
