AP reports:
Gunfights broke out in the Libyan capital Tripoli on Friday between supporters of deposed leader Moammar Gadhafi and forces of the National Transitional Council, raising fears of an insurgency against the country's new rulers.
Hundreds of NTC fighters in trucks shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) careered toward the Abu Salim neighborhood, a center of support for Gadhafi, and the two sides exchanged automatic and heavy machine gun fire.

NTC, you still have more rats to ferret out.
.
Those were exactly Moammar Gadhafi's words about the people who fought back in Bengazi... great minds think alike, right UnitedStates1776?!
G'Daffy's NOT going gently into the night!
another well thought out plan by Nobama the clown and the rest of Soros puppets.
Are we seriously funding these guys' fights?
I've always wondered how many casualties are caused by those celebratory rounds? What goes up must come down they say.
Statistically, a shot fired in a general straight up shot won't harm anyone because of the crosswinds.
Hee Hee!!
Where is the NATO bombardment?
jakeizzle: Are you saying then that the crosswinds then take the ammo and deposit it elsewhere in a safe haven out of harm's way? Smart crosswinds, eh?
Who cares? As long as there are people, there will be wars. Stop this one, and there will be another. Betcha
