Libyan soldiers have been stationed at Tripoli's main square to protect a rally in support of the government that was planned for Friday afternoon, a source at the prime minister's office said.
"They are expecting to have some demonstrations and I would expect it's because they want to protect the demonstrators," the source told Reuters. A defense ministry source said the order came from the prime minister's office.
Reuters witnesses saw the soldiers on the square as well a son the main road to the airport.
Armed militia targeting Libya's ministries and media in the capital this week have alarmed international observers who say deteriorating security conditions are becoming a matter of serious concern.
Gunmen in heavily armed vehicles were in control of Libya's Foreign Ministry for a sixth day on Friday. The Justice Ministry was also surrounded.
