Libyan rebels attack government HQ

Residents in the area reported hearing heavy exchanges of gunfire.

Others reported military vehicles travelling down the airport road towards the
city centre where the headquarters are.

Government spokesman Nasser al-Manaa said Defence Minister Osama Juili was
negotiating with the fighters, who “came in protest over (unpaid)
stipends.”

Last month, citing widespread fraud, Libyan authorities paused the payment of
cash bonuses to rebels who had fought against Muammar Gaddafi’s regime in
2011.
