Unidentified Warplanes Strike Militias in Libya 
------------------------------------------------


 
Unidentified warplanes have bombed targets in the Libyan capital of
Tripoli amidst continued violence between government forces and rebel
militias. The strikes reportedly targeted militia-controlled areas,
killing six. Representatives of renegade Libyan General Khalifa Haftar
have claimed responsibility for the air bombings. But doubts have been
raised as Haftar's forces are believed to lack the capability. Both NATO
and the United States have denied involvement.
