    Default Tripoli protest: brings out HMGs

    Sadly the crazies, a Misrata militia this time, reacted badly to an un-armed protest calling for them to leave the city, amidst the weapons a "technical" with a heavy machine gun - which is shown firing at the crowds.

    Some of the protestors went home and came back:
    Demonstrators, some of which had been carrying white flags, fled but then returned, heavily armed, to attack the compound, where the militiamen remained holed up until early morning as fighting continued. Rocket-propelled grenades could be heard.

    Libya has dropped out of view of late, although I am sure SWC readers known it is unstable.
