利比亚敌对派系的民兵组织星期天在首都附近的机场展开了激烈的战斗,至少有3人丧生，周三以前的航班已被取消。
一个伊斯兰武装组织星期天凌晨袭击了来自利比亚西北部津坦的民兵。这场战斗是6个月来最激烈的。自2011年前独裁者卡扎菲被推翻以来，来自津坦的民兵一直控制着的黎波里国际机场。
机场官员说，火箭弹星期天拂晓时击中机场的一个设施。
伊斯兰民兵联合组织“利比亚革命行动会”宣称对袭击负责。该组织被认为是争夺议会控制权的两大政治派系的军事组织。
美国国务院发言人莎琪星期六说，美国对利比亚目前的暴力可能导致广泛的冲突“深感关切”。
Heavy fighting between militias vying for control of the airport in Libya's capital has killed at least three people and grounded flights through the middle of the week.
An armed Islamist group attacked Zintan militiamen, who have controlled Tripoli International Airport since the overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, in some of the worst fighting the country has seen in six months.
An airport official said rockets hit the facility just before sunrise Sunday. The Operations Cell of Libyan Revolutionaries, a coalition of Islamist militias, claimed responsibility.
The opposing groups are seen as the armed wings of two political factions, the liberals and Alarmists, struggling for the upper hand in the Libyan parliament.
On Saturday, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said (in a statement) the U.S. is "deeply concerned" the ongoing violence in Libya could lead to "widespread conflict."
