None

At least seven people were killed in clashes between armed nomads and residents of a Libyan town on the border with Algeria on Wednesday, officials said, underlining the insecurity that still plagues the country one month before elections.

 

The fighting erupted over control of a checkpoint on the edge of Ghadames on a desert route often used for smuggling, officials told Reuters on condition of anonymity. (Reuters)
