Much of the city was calm overnight, with revolutionaries taking over key positions and clearing many buildings from snipers. Libyan deputy foreign minister Khaled Kaim has said troops have halted operations to enable tribal elders to negotiate with the opposition. If they don’t surrender within two days, the tribesmen will fight them instead of the army, he said. Many people fear that soldiers will return in plain clothes so as to appear as tribesmen.
