TRIPOLI, Jumada I, 18, 1434, Mar 30, 2013, SPA -- A Libyan military spokesman says more than 150 gunmen have attacked an air base in the country's southern desert, killing two government troops, according to AP. Saad al-Orfi says the attack early Saturday targeted a military air base about 45 kilometers (30 miles) north of the city of Sabha. He says the assailants were heavily armed and clashed with government forces stationed at the base. A colonel and a soldier were killed in the fighting, and two more troops were also wounded. Al-Orfi identified the assailants as Libyan but said an investigation is underway to determine who they were. -- SPA 20:55 LOCAL TIME 17:55 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1092905
