Clashes intensify in Lebanons Tripoli 
The fighting in Syria has spread to Tripoli in neighbouring Lebanon. Tension has been rising between Tripoli's Sunnis, who support the Syrian opposition against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, and supporters of the Syrian government including Tripoli's Alawite community. The arrest of Shadi Almawlawi, a young Sunni sheikh, triggered the armed clashes. His supporters burnt tires, blocked the city's main roads and deployed armed men on the streets. Fighting that started on Sunday continued into Monday, with pressure mounting on the Lebanese army to stop the violence. Al Jazeera's Rula Amin reports from Tripoli.

Uneasy calm prevails in Lebanon's Tripoli 
The latest bout of violence in the northern city of Tripoli, which has left nine people dead and several dozen more wounded, began after the authorities arrested Shadi el Mawlawi. Islamic groups in the north of Lebanon have closed one of the city's main squares in protest against Mawlawi's arrest, who is now facing terrorism charges. The city is home to a large Alawite minority, which is the sect that Syrian president Bashar al Assad belongs to, as well as a Sunni majority, who support the Syrian opposition. Lebanese troops deployed on Tuesday in sectors of Tripoli affected by clashes. They are said to be on Syria Street, the fontline of the fighting between the residents of Bab el Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen. "Hostilities have ceased in Tripoli," Najib Mikati, Lebanese prime minister, said on Tuesday in Beirut, adding that "the past 48 hours have been difficult." Mikati said he had met political officials and Islamist leaders to discuss the crisis. "We reached an understanding on a number of issues," including a ceasefire, he said. Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports from Tripoli, Lebanon.

Another Tripoli: Syria strife echoes in neighborhood violence 
It's an Arab city on the Mediterranean with a penchant for everything green. Lebanese Tripoli looks a lot alike its Libyan namesake and, increasingly, it's being drawn into the revolutionary violence. It's home to sizable Alawite and Sunni communities and, with the Syrian border just a half-hour drive away, tensions are already boiling over. Oksana Boyko explains.

Dr Yusuf Shakir - Tripoli Now Full Of Intel Agents 
Dr Yusuf Shakir is a long time Television presenter for Libyan television. He gives us an update; Sabha now has green flags. He says NATO has stopped bombing, but there are a couple of Apache helicopters there for support. No order at all in Tripoli. And there is a lot of violence escalating between militias. Misrata Brigades are trying to control the country, they have many prisoners and weapons. Qatar has overstretched itself and will not last, it does not represent an Arab agenda. He corrects me when I say "Greens" because the majority of Libyans are for the Jamariyah. The liberals have been thrown out. Prisoners (including Journalists) are tortured, and radicals have taken over, but they are fighting amongst themselves. The Zintan Brigades are treating Saif Al Islam well and are on the right path, they control the Airport. There is some uncertainty about whether Gaddafi was indeed assassinated? Libyan rebels are helping the Syrian militants. All the organisations, UN, Amnesty etc are controlled by the superpower (US). . Donations to Morris: www.paypal.com .

Tripoli clash highlights Libya's challenges 
One person has died in a gun battle near the international airport in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, between a brigade calling itself "Libya's National Army" and former rebels who control the airport.

The NTC has given armed groups in Tripoli until December 31 to disarm and leave the city. The violence underlines the challenges the new leaders face to stamp their authority on the various armed groups that helped overthrow Muammar Gaddafi.

Tripoli warns east over autonomy bid 
www.euronews.com Protesters in Tripoli delivered a firm 'no' to a breakaway region in eastern Libya, echoing the reaction of the country's leadership. The announcement by a group of civic leaders that they intend to push for autonomy has been condemned as a foreign plot by the head of the ruling National Transitional Council. Mustafa Abdel Jalil said: "We are surprised at these voices calling for division in Libya. We call on all Libyans to gather round the internationally legitimate Council." Some 3000 delegates in Benghazi announced they were setting up a council to run Cyrenaica, the province which is home to Libya's biggest oil fields. It reflects long-standing discontent in the east over perceived neglect and marginalisation by the rulers in the capital, 1000 km to the west. However, even within the region there is opposition to the idea. One man, who was among several hundred demonstrating in Benghazi said: "No to federalism; no to regionalism; yes to a unified Libya; no east or west - Tripoli is the capital and Benghazi will never divide the country. Unity, unity forever." Advocates for the split say they want the east to remain part of a united Libya, but that they need autonomy end to decades of discrimination.Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com
