Besieged Libyan capital's airport re-opens after 3 monthsLibyan authorities re-opened the capital’s main airport on Thursday, after closing it nearly three months ago amid heavy fighting between rival militias. Mitiga airport was closed down in September after shelling hit what was Tripoli’s only functional civilian airport. At the time, the U.N. mission in Libya said four projectiles struck the area, with one hitting an airplane carrying pilgrims coming back from Saudi Arabia.
