They are out to kill each other right now.


AL Jazeera reporting.
Local authorities have set a deadline for armed residents of the capital Tripoli to lay down arms by the end of this month, and urged brigades of revolutionary fighters from outside Tripoli to leave the city by December 20.

Libya's government on Tuesday gave its firm support to a two-week deadline for militias to quit Tripoli, backing up a threat from the capital's council to lock down the city if they fail to do so.

“A public demonstration will be held tomorrow at 4:30 pm in Martyrs' Square in support of,  initiatives to clear Tripoli of weapons and the unnecessary presence of militia," a statement from the office of Abdel Rahim al-Kib, the interim prime minister, said on Tuesday.

"It is anticipated that the demonstration will escalate each day until December 20. On that day, if the militias have not left the city, the public of Tripoli and the Libyan government will close the whole city to traffic."

His statement came after he met city council chief and other members of the National Transitional Council (NTC) on the security concerns posed by the presence of armed militias in Tripoli.

These militias are said to have led the uprising which toppled Mouammar Gaddafi and their members now man checkpoints across Tripoli and installations at Tripoli international airport.
