By rocket fire the attacks took place as a plane was preparing to take off bound for to nazir mexico is the only working airport in tripoli it has been attacked several times since april now the United NationsSecurity Council has been discussing the ongoing violence in libya fightings increased around tripoli after warlord Khalifa Haftar has Libyan NationalArmy Launched a new offensive against the u. N. Recognize government our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the United Nations the u. N.
