Tunis - A Libyan opposition newspaper said on Monday rebels were leading an uprising in the suburbs of Tripoli after being supplied with light weapons by defecting security service officers.
A Reuters reporter about three kilometres (two miles) from the general area said he could hear no gunfire. It was not possible to obtain independent verification of the report, on the website of the opposition newspaper Brnieq.
Brnieq quoted witnesses who said a full-scale uprising against the rule of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi was taking place in the suburbs of Tripoli. It said protesters were preparing to head towards the city centre.
