ZUWARA - Fighters near the western Libyan town of Zuwara were firing rockets and large-caliber weapons on Wednesday, Reuters reporters at the scene said, in the fourth day of a conflict between rival militias.
The fighting has exposed how volatile Libya remains, six months after a revolt last year ended Muammar Gaddafi's rule, and how the new leadership is struggling to impose its authority on the country.

The Libyan government said on Tuesday 14 people had been killed and hundreds wounded.
