Ongoing Militia Fighting Kills 75 in Benghazi 
----------------------------------------------


 
A new round of violence has broken out in the ongoing conflict for
control of the Libyan city of Benghazi. At least 75 people have been
killed in five days of clashes between pro-government militias and rival
forces. Libya has been roiled by militia fighting following the
U.S.-backed ouster of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Tens of thousands have
been displaced since the violence escalated in July.
