                       Libyan Congress Puts Army on Alert

   Libya`s General National Congress has put the army on maximum alert as
   fresh tribal clashes raged in the restive southern town of Sabha.
   The vote came during an emergency session Saturday about the situation
   in Sabha, where fighting broke out a week ago leaving about 30 dead.
   Gunmen stormed a military base in the city, while the government
   launched war planes Saturday to attack enemy targets. Government and
   local sources say the attackers are supporters of former leader Moammar
   Gadhafi, who was killed by NATO-backed rebels more than two years ago.
   Meanwhile in the country`s east, officials say gunmen kidnapped two
   Italian construction workers on a road near the city of Derna. Derna is
   a radical Islamist stronghold.
