Libya unrest: Heavy gunfire rocks Tripoli

Heavy and sustained gunfire has broken out in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

A BBC correspondent said machinegun and heavy weapons fire could be heard across the city.

It is not clear what the source of the fire was or who started it but it is the heaviest in Tripoli since the rebellion against Col Muammar Gaddafi began two weeks ago.

There have been protests against Col Gaddafi's rule in Tripoli but the city has so far remained in his control.

The BBC's Wyre Davies in Tripoli says the gunfire was heard all over the city, although authorities have been saying it is celebratory gunfire.

Two residents who contacted the BBC said one key area in which gunfire had been heard was around the airport.
