TRIPOLI, July 26 (Reuters) - The
United States evacuated its
embassy in
Libya on Saturday, temporarily relocating its
staff across the border to Tunisia because of escalating clashes between rival militias in Tripoli, the U.S. State Department said. The U.S. pullout underscored deteriorating
security in the Libyan capital following two weeks of fighting between militias who have exchanged rocket and artillery fire in southern Tripoli near the
embassy compound. (Reporting by Patrick Markey, editing by John Stonestreet)
