CAIRO — Libyan militiamen stormed the country's national assembly overnight, beating and shooting a number of MPs. Both the interim government and U.N. mission in Tripoli are warning militiamen not to resort to violence over political disputes.
Libyan state TV announced the names of six members of the interim national assembly who were wounded when militiamen stormed the assembly's headquarters. The station showed footage of minor damage to the conference hall, and graffiti on the wall.
