At least one person was killed outside Tripoli in a fight between a powerful militia group from Zintan and local residents loyal to slain leader Muammar Gaddafi, reports the Associated Press.

The two sides are continuing to exchange automatic rifle fire in the Tripoli neighborhood of Abu Salim, a pro-Gaddafi stronghold, says Zintan militia commander Mohammed el-Rebay. The one person reported dead was a member of his group.

The well-equipped fighters from Zintan, a province in Libya’s western mountains, took over a school in the capital and turned it into a military base after Tripoli fell in August 2011. The Zintan militia remains one of the numerous Libyan groups operating outside of the new government’s control.
