The Libyan capital Tripoli was calm Saturday morning after clashes erupted the night before between supporters and opponents of leader Moamer Gaddafi, according to eyewitnesses.
Observers said supporters of Gaddafi have barricaded the capital to prevent protesters from entering from other cities, DPA reported.
Protesters calling for the ouster of Gaddafi have said in the eastern cities that were "liberated from security loyal to the leader" said they will head to Tripoli to support other protesters.
